FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,
PLAINTIFF,
v.
HOPE FOR CAR OWNERS, LLC; AND PATRICK FREEMAN,
DEFENDANTS.
FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION,
PLAINTIFF,
v.
NAFSO VLM, INC.; KORE SERVICES, LLC; NAYTHEM NAFSO; AND MICHAEL KAMFIROOZIE,
DEFENDANTS.
The opinion of the court was delivered by: Garland E. Burrell, Jr. United States District Judge
Plaintiff filed a "Notice of Related Cases" on March 27, 2012, in which it states:
[T]he instant case is related to the following case, FTC v. NAFSO VLM, Inc., et al., Case No. 2:12-at-00393, that has also been filed in the Eastern District of California, Sacramento Division. The grounds for noticing these cases as related cases is as follows: both actions involve similar questions of fact and the same question of law and their assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort, either because the same result should follow in both actions or otherwise.
(ECF No. 2.) However, examination of the above-entitled actions does not indicate that their "assignment . . . to a single Judge is likely to effect a savings of judicial effort or economies[.]" E.D. Cal. R. 123(c). While similar preliminary questions of law may exist, the actions involve different defendants and would involve different factual issues. Therefore, the undersigned judge declines to relate the actions.
