MDL 1446, CIVIL ACTION NO. H-01-3624 AND CONSOLIDATED CASES, CIVIL ACTION NO. H-03-3481
September 13, 2003
ORDER OF COORDINATION
California Public Employees' Retirement System v. Banc of America Securities, et al., H-03-3481, was removed from the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco, California, based on "related to" bankruptcy jurisdiction and then transferred to this Court by the Multidistrict Litigation Panel as part of MDL 1446.
Discovery in H-03-3481 will necessarily overlap that in Newby v. Enron Corporation, H-01-3624, since it arises from many of the same facts and alleges claims against many of the same parties. The Court is aware of the pending motion to remand (#5) and will reach it shortly. In the mean time, to insure that this case receives all relevant pleadings and orders, the Court
ORDERS that the docketing clerk shall henceforth designate H-03-3481 as a "coordinated case" in conjunction with Newby and shall enter it as such on the docket sheet of Newby.
