RELATED CASE ORDER

__________________________________/

1
Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within
2
the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Each one stems from an alleged information security incident
3
involving defendants Health Net of California, Health Net and International Business Machines
4
Corporation and raises the same claims for violations of Confidentiality in Medical Information
5
Act, Civil Code Section 56, et seq.; many also raise claims under the Unfair Competition Law,
6
Business & Professions Code ยง17200, et seq. Accordingly, the assignment of these matters to
7
the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be
8
convenient for the parties.
9
The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions
10
to be assigned to the same judge; it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related
11
cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was
12
assigned.
13
As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that:
14
1. Avila v. Health Net, Civ. No. S-11-1097 JAM KJN is reassigned from Judge
15
Mendez and Magistrate Judge Newman to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge Drozd. The
16
caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be Civ. No. S-11-1097 KJM DAD.
17
2. Bournas v. Health Net, Inc., et al., Civ. No. S-11-1262 GEB DAD is
18
reassigned from Judge Burrell to the undersigned; Magistrate Judge Drozd shall remain the
19
Magistrate Judge. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be Civ. No. S-11-

1262 KJM DAD.

3. Bowman v. Health Net, Inc., et al., Civ. No. S-11-1320 JAM JFM is reassigned
