Case No. 1:15-cv-00605-DLB (PC)

On March 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed this Civil Rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C.
section 1983 challenging Defendant’s mental health assessment under California’s
Sexually Violent Predator Act. (ECF No. 1.)
A number of similar 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.
Seng;
