Local Rule 123(a)(E.D. Cal. 1984).

The plaintiffs in

both cases seek damages from the same defendants arising out of the same incident. Accordingly, the

assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties. The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no

10

consolidation of the actions is effected.

Under the

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