order .Order Thu 02/28 6:30 PM
MINUTE ORDER: Upon consideration of11 Defendants' Unopposed Notice of Related Cases, the Court concludes that this case is related, under Local Rule 40.5(a), to Public Citizen Health Research Group v. Acosta , No. 18-cv-1729, an earlier case filed before Judge Timothy J. Kelly. Both cases involve the same plaintiffs and defendants, substantially similar challenges to the same OSHA rulemaking, and substantially similar requests for relief. The two cases thus "grow out of the same event" and their disposition is likely to "involve common issues of fact." LCvR 40.5(a)(3). Accordingly, as dictated by Local Rule 40.5(c)(2), it is hereby ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall transfer this matter to the Calendar and Case Management Committee for reassignment to Judge Kelly as related to No. 18-cv-1729. SO ORDERED. Signed by Judge Rudolph Contreras on February 28, 2019. (lcrc3)
