Review of the above-captioned action reveals that it is related under this Court’s Local

21

Rule 123 to the action entitled General Electric Company, et al. v. Thomas Alexander Wilkins,

22

Case No. CV F 10-0674 LJO JLT. The actions involve the same or similar parties, properties,

23

claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Accordingly, assignment of the actions to the

24

same district judge and magistrate judge will promote convenience, efficiency and economy

25

for the Court and parties. An order relating cases under this Court’s Local Rule 123 merely

26

assigns them to the same district judge and magistrate judge, and no consolidation of cases is

27

effected.
