UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

The undersigned is presiding over a case (13-cv-2059) brought by former employee Jerrod 

Finder against employer Leprino Foods alleging violations of California wage and hour laws. 

That case is a proposed class action. Jerrod Finder has filed a second case against Leprino Foods 

(15-cv-0307). Defendant has filed a notice of related action; Plaintiff opposes relation. The 

second case is not a proposed class action and involves claims of disability discrimination and 

retaliation for taking leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act. These actions are not related 

within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). They involve the same parties, but deal with different 

events, different questions of fact and law, and provide no savings in labor if heard by the same 

judge. Relation of these two cases is denied. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 19, 2015
