Case No.: 1:13-cv-01345-AWI-BAM
ORDER DIRECTING CLERK OF THE COURT TO
REASSIGN ACTION TO THE HONORABLE
JENNIFER L. THURSTON

New Case Number: 1:13-cv-01345-AWI-JLT

Joseph Usunubu Aluya (“Plaintiff”) is a federal prisoner proceeding with this civil rights action

18
19

pursuant to Bivens vs. Six Unknown Agents, 403 U.S. 388 (1971). Plaintiff filed the Complaint

20

commencing this action on August 22, 2013. (Doc. 1.)
The underlying facts and law giving rise to Plaintiff’s claim in this action are largely similar to

21
22

the facts and law being litigated in case number 1:13-cv-000967-AWI-BAM, Nuwintore v. United

23

States, et al., which was filed in this court on June 25, 2013. Both cases proceed against the same

24

defendant, Management & Training Corporation, and concern allegations that inmates were infected

25

with Valley Fever at Taft Correctional Institution. In light of the similarities of the two cases, and in

26

the interest of judicial economy, the Court finds good cause to assign them to the same judges for

27

resolution.
