C.R. Bard, Inc., 2:20-cv-00644-DAD-BAM; and Turner v. C.R. Bard, Inc., 2:20-cv-00645-DAD-

BAM. Accordingly, assignment of the above-captioned actions to the undersigned and to
9
Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe will promote efficiency and economy for the court and
10
11
the parties.
An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same
12
district judge and magistrate judge—it does not consolidate the cases. The local rules of this
13
district authorize the judge with the lowest numbered case to order the reassignment of any higher
14
numbered cases to himself or herself, upon determining that this assignment is likely to effect a
15
savings of judicial effort. L.R. 123(c). Such good cause appearing here, the court orders that
16
the two (2) above-captioned actions be reassigned to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge
17
Barbara A. McAuliffe and that they be related to each of the nineteen (19) already related
18
actions listed above. The documents in the above-captioned actions shall bear the new case
19
numbers above.
20
IT IS SO ORDERED.
