FORD MOTOR COMPANY, et. al., Defendants. ________________________________/ DAVID BARBIERI and GAIL BARBIERI, Plaintiffs, v. FORD MOTOR COMPANY, et. al., Defendants. ________________________________/ Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve the same or similar parties, same or similar claims, the same property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings 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 these actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is No. CIV.
