24

The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on September 11, 2015.

25

Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are

26

related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve

27

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same

28

property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,
1

1

and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges.

2

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a

3

substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

4

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely

5

has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the

6

action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally

7

assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was

8

assigned.

9

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 1:15-cv-01375 TLN-

10

JLT, Panama-Buena Vista Union School District v. A.V. a minor is reassigned to Chief

11

Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Jennifer L. Thurston for all further

12

proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned case only are hereby

13

VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue an Order Requiring Joint Status Report.

14

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as

15

1:15-cv-01375-MCE-JLT.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate
adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
