Plaintiff has filed a civil rights complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. section 1983

21

challenging Defendants’ assessment, classification and detention of Plaintiff under

22

California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act and failure to provide him outpatient treatment

23

in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution.

24

A number of virtually identical actions have been filed in or transferred to this

25

Court. The Court’s review of these cases reveals that the instant action is related under

26

Local Rule 123 to the action entitled Klein v. King, 1:14-cv-01440-MJS. The actions are

based on the same underlying facts and involve overlapping questions of law and fact.

28

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Office of the Clerk shall relate
1

this case with case 1:14-cv-01440-MJS.
