Case No. 1:14-cv-1600-DLB (PC)

On October 6, 2014, Plaintiff filed this Civil Rights Complaint pursuant to 42
U.S.C. section 1983 challenging Defendants’ assessment, classification and detention of
Plaintiff under California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act and failure to provide him
outpatient treatment in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.
(ECF No. 1.)
A number of virtually identical actions have been filed in or transferred to this
Court. The Court’s review of these cases reveals that the instant action is related under
Local Rule 123 to the action entitled Klein v. King, 1:14-cv-01440-MJS. Both actions are
based on the same underlying facts and involve overlapping questions of law and fact.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.

The Office of the Clerk shall relate this case with case 1:14-cv-01440-MJS;

2.

This case shall be assigned to the docket of Magistrate Judge Michael J.
