New Case No. 1:14-cv-02053-LJO-MJS (PC)
ORDER RELATING CASES AND REASSIGNING
ACTION TO DISTRICT JUDGE LAWRENCE J.
O’NEILL AND MAGISTRATE JUDGE MICHAEL
J. SENG

On November 18, 2014, Plaintiff filed this Civil Rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C §

18

1983 challenging Defendants’ assessment, classification and detention of Plaintiff under California’s

19

Sexually Violent Predator Act and failure to provide him outpatient treatment in violation of the

20

Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. (ECF No. 1.)

21

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

22

Court’s review of these cases reveals that the instant action is related under Local Rule 123 to the

23

action entitled Klein v. King, 1:14-cv-01440-MJS. Both actions are based on the same underlying

24

facts and involve overlapping questions of law and fact.

25

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

26

1.

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

27

2.

The Case shall be assigned to the docket of District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill and

28

reassigned to the docket of Magistrate Judge Michael J. Seng;
1

3.

1

The new case number shall be:
1:14-cv-02044-LJO-MJS (PC)

2
3

and all future pleadings and/or correspondence must be so numbered. Use of an

4

incorrect case number or incorrect judge’s initials may result in delay in processing

5

documents and distribution of copies to the judge assigned.

7

IT IS SO ORDERED.
