Plaintiff Bruce Koklich (“Plaintiff”) is a state prisoner proceeding pro se in this civil rights

17

action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action in Fresno County Superior Court on

Koklich v. California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 1:11-cv-01403-DLB PC

20

(E.D.Cal. Aug. 18, 2011). On August 25, 2011, Defendants Babcok, Walker, and Ward joined in

21

the removal. Defendant McCoy joined on September 7, 2011.

22

On September 6, 2011, Defendant Kelso, a defendant named in the above referenced case,

23

filed a notice of removal and this action was opened. (ECF No. 1.) On September 7, 2011,

24

Defendant filed a notice of related case stating that he was unaware of the removal of this action by

25

the other defendant and the assignment of this action to one judge will effect substantial savings of

26

judicial effort. In the interest of judicial economy, the Court finds that these actions brought in the

27

same complaint in state court should proceed in a single action. Accordingly, this action shall be

28

dismissed and Defendant Kelso should file a notice of joinder in Koklich v. California Department
1

1

of Corrections and Rehabilitation, 1:11-cv-01403-DLB PC (E.D.Cal. Aug. 18, 2011).

Based on the foregoing, it is HEREBY ORDERED that:
