C.D. Cal. L.R. 83-1.3.2
Notice of Related Civil Forfeiture and Criminal Cases
It shall be the responsibility of the parties to promptly
file a Notice of Related Cases whenever a civil forfeiture case
and a criminal case:
(a) arise from the same or a closely related transaction,
happening, or event;
(b) call for determination of the same or substantially related
or similar questions of law and fact; or
(c) involve one or more defendants from the criminal case in
common, and would entail substantial duplication of
labor if heard by different judges.
The Notice must include a brief factual statement that explains
how the cases in question are related under the foregoing
factors.
The Notice must be filed at the time a civil forfeiture case
appearing to relate to a criminal case is filed, or as soon
thereafter as it appears such cases are related. The Notice must
be served on all parties who have appeared in the case and
concurrently with service of the complaint.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
