No. CIV S-05-2410 FCD KJM PS RELATED CASE ORDER

CAROL POPE, et al., Defendants. _______________________________/ BARBARA CLARK, v. CARRIE NEVANS, et al., Defendants. ______________________________/ The court has received the Notice of Related Cases filed May 24, 2007. Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that all actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 83123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve the same parties, Plaintiff, No. CIV F-07-0746 AWI WMW PS

are based on the same or a similar claims, and involve the same property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges. Accordingly,

the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties. The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 83-123 merely has the result that these actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated: CIV F-07-0746 AWI WMW PS is reassigned to Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Kimberly J. Mueller for all further proceedings. Any dates currently set in the reassigned case, to include any motion hearing, are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on all documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: CIV S-07-1086 FCD KJM PS, the Sacramento Division case number. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustments in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: June 5, 2007
