Review of the record in above-referenced action entitled Latrina Phillips v. Roadrunner

9
10

Intermodal Services, LLC et al., Case No. 1:17-cv-00164-LJO-SAB, reveals it is related under

11

this court’s Local Rule 123 to the following actions pending before the undersigned: (1) Jabir

12

Singh et al. v. Roadrunner Intermodal Services, LLC et al., Case No. 1:15-cv-01497-DAD-BAM;

13

and (2) Nicholas E. Rich v. Roadrunner Intermodal Services, LLC et al., Case No. 1:16-cv-

14

01900-DAD-BAM. These actions involve the same or similar parties, properties, claims, events,

15

and/or questions of fact or law. In addition, the currently assigned district and magistrate judges

16

in the Phillips action have not engaged in this matter in any substantial way. Accordingly,

17

assignment of the actions to the undersigned and to Magistrate Judge Barbara McAuliffe will

18

promote efficiency and economy for the court and parties.
An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same

19
20

district judge and magistrate judge, and does not consolidate the cases. Good cause appearing,

21

the court orders that the Phillips action is reassigned to U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd and

22

U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara McAuliffe.
