Having considered Plaintiff Knoll, Inc.'s ("Knoll") Administrative Motion to Consider

2 Whether Cases Should be Related ("Motion") pursuant to Civil L.R. 3-12, and good cause 3 appearing therefore, 4 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the case entitled Alphaville Design, Inc. v. Knoll, Inc.,

5 Case No. 07-CV-05569-MHP ("Alphaville Action"), is deemed related to the case entitled Knoll, 6 Inc. v. Danrick Commerce Group, LLC, et al., Case No. 08-CV-0778-MHP ("Danrick Action") as 7 defined by Civil L.R. 3-12, and should be consolidated and calendared on the same track. The 8 Court finds that both actions concern the same parties, trademarks, and causes of action under the 9 Lanham Act. Specifically, the parties' respective claims and counterclaims asserted in the 10 Alphaville and Danrick Actions all relate to the same series of transactions and occurrences and 11 present common questions of law. The Court further finds that if the cases are not deemed related, 12 it would appear likely that there would be an unduly burdensome duplication of labor and expense. 13 The case management schedule and conference in the Alphaville Action is HEREBY

14 VACATED. The Court shall utilize the dates set in the case management order in the Danrick 15 Action for both cases to ensure that all parties are served with the complaint and summons and can 16 all participate in the ADR, Rule 26(f) and case management conferences as the same time. This 17 schedule shall be follows: 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 -1ORDER GRANTING MISC. ADMINISTRATIVE REQ.
