1

Review of the record in latter above-referenced action entitled American Safety Services,

2

Inc. v. Michael Johnson, et al., No. 1:18-cv-00349-LJO-JLT, reveals it is related under this

3

court’s Local Rule 123 to the following action pending before the undersigned: Gene Moseley et

4

al. v. Michael Johnson, et al., No. 1:18-cv-00344-DAD-JLT. These actions involve the same or

5

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

6

currently assigned district judge and magistrate judge in American Safety Services, Inc. v.

7

Michael Johnson, et al., No. 1:18-cv-00349-LJO-JLT, have not engaged in this matter in any

8

substantial way. Accordingly, assignment of the actions to the undersigned and to Magistrate

9

Judge Jennifer L. Thurston will promote efficiency and economy for the court and parties.

10

An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same

11

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

12

the court orders that American Safety Services, Inc. v. Michael Johnson, et al., No. 1:18-cv-

13

00349-LJO-JLT is reassigned to U.S. District Judge Dale A. Drozd and U.S. Magistrate Judge

14

Jennifer L. Thurston. Accordingly, documents filed that action shall bear the new case number:

1:18-cv-00349-DAD-JLT
