ORDER RELATING CASE AND
REASSIGNING DISTRICT JUDGE

Defendant

The court finds that the above-captioned action is related to Balik v. Upton, 1:15cv1419

11

AWI JLT within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a)(3) (cases are related where both cases appear

12

to involve similar questions of fact and law, and assignment of this matter to the same district

13

judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort) and Local Rule 123(a)(4) (cases are

14

related where there would be substantial duplication of labor if the actions were heard by different

15

judges). Because reassignment of this action to a single judge is likely to affect a savings of

16

judicial effort and economy, it is appropriate to reassign this action to the same district judge. See

17

Local Rule 123(c).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:
1.

22

Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the above-captioned action, being the higher numbered case,
is reassigned to the same district judge as the lower numbered case; and

2.

All future pleadings and motions filed in the above-captioned action shall use the new case
number: 1:15cv1420 AWI JLT.
