1

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these cases are related within the

2

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same property, transaction or event and

3

similar questions of fact and law. Accordingly, assignment of the matters to the same judge is

4

likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the

5

parties.

6

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the

7

result that the actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is effected.

8

Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge and

9

magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

10

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the actions denominated as Harris v. Sexon, et al., Case

11

No. 1:18-cv-00080 DAD SAB (PC) and Rico v. Ducart, et al., Case No. 2:19-cv-01989 TLN

12

CKD P are reassigned to the undersigned and to Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes for all further

13

proceedings, and any dates currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED.

14

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown as Harris v.

15

Sexton, et al., Case No. 1:18-cv-00080 KJM DB P and Rico v. Ducart, et al., Case No. 2:19-cv-

16

01989 KJM DB P.

17

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in

18

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. Any and all dates currently set

19

before any judge to whom Harris or Rico is currently assigned only are hereby vacated.

20
21

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: October 10, 2019.
