Review of the above-captioned actions reveal that the actions involve the same or
similar parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law.

An order relating cases under this Court’s Local Rule 123 merely provides notice

25

on the Court's docket that the matters are related, and assigns the cases to the same

26

district judge; no consolidation of cases is effected. In this case, reassignment of judges

27

is not necessary as the matters are already assigned to the same district court and

28

magistrate judges.
