JUDGE STANLEY A. BOONE

CATES, et al.,

New Case No. 1:13-cv-00272-LJO-SAB

Defendants.

17

On February 25, 2013, Plaintiff initated this action alleging deliberate indifference in

18

violation of the Eighth Amendment. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, filed on

19

March 6, 2014, generally alleges that the defendants were deliberately indifferent by housing

20

Plaintiff at Avenal State Prison due to the prevalence of Valley Fever in the area and by failing to

21

provide him with adequate medical treatment. (ECF No. 17.)

22

A series of similar actions have been related and consolidated. Review of this action

23

reveals that it is related under Local Rule 123 to the actions entitled Jackson, et al. v. State of

24

California, et al., 1:13-cv-01055-LJO-SAB; and Smith, et al. v. Schwarzeneggar, et al., 1:14-cv-

25

00060-LJO-SAB. The actions are based on the same underlying facts and involve overlapping

26

questions of law and fact.

27

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

28

1.

The Office of the Clerk shall relate this case with cases 1:13-cv-01055-LJO-SAB
1

and 1:14-cv-00060-LJO-SAB;

and all future pleadings and/or correspondence must be so numbered. The parties

and received by the appropriate judicial officer.
