TEXT-ONLY ORDER by Judge Susan van Keulen on 6/5/26: Plaintiffs' 5 Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should Be Related seeks relation of this case to the earlier-filed cases Doe v. City and County of San Francisco, et al., Case No. 26-cv-00783-KAW, and Hewitt v. City and County of San Francisco, et al., Case No. 26-cv-00371-KAW. The administrative motion at Dkt. 5 is TERMINATED for failure to comply with Civil Local Rule 3-12(b), which requires that a motion to relate cases must be filed in the lowest-numbered case. Note that if Plaintiffs re-file the motion in the lowest-numbered case, Civil Local Rule 3-12(b) requires that they file a copy of the motion in each apparently related action using the ECF event Notice (Other).
