Review of the above-captioned action reveals that it is related under this Court’s Local Rule 123

19

to numerous actions before the undersigned, including Aqualliance, et al. v. United States Bureau of

20

Reclamation, et al., 1:15-cv-00754 LJO BAM; San Luis & Delta-Mendota Water Authority, et al. v.

21

Jewell, et al., Lead Case No. 1:09-cv-00407 LJO BAM, and Natural Resources Def. Council, et al. v.

22
Jewell, et al., Case No. 1:05-cv-1207-LJO-BAM, among others. The actions involve the same or similar
23
24

parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. In addition, the currently assigned

25

district judge has not engaged in this matter in any substantial way. Accordingly, assignment of the

26

actions to the same district judge and magistrate judge will promote convenience, efficiency and

27

economy for the Court and parties. An order relating cases under this Court’s Local Rule 123 merely

assigns them to the same district judge and magistrate judge, and no consolidation of cases is effected.
On the basis of good cause, this Court ORDERS that the above-captioned action is reassigned to
U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill and U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe. All

documents shall bear the new case number: 1:15-cv-00912 LJO BAM.
