Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these

22
23

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal.

24

2005).

25

judge and magistrate judge is likely to affect a substantial

26

savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for

27

the parties.

28

///

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same

1

1

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

2

Local Rule 123 merely has the result that these actions are

3

assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge; no consolidation

4

of the actions is effected.

5

court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge and

6

magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

Under the regular practice of this

7

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the Magistrate Judge assignment

8

in the action denominated 2:16-CV-000211 JAM-KJN be reassigned to

9

Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all further proceedings.

10

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case

11

shall be shown as 2:16-CV-000211 JAM-EFB.
