The parties should be aware that relating the cases merely has the result that the actions are assigned to the same judges. No consolidation of the actions is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally assigned to the District Judge and Magistrate Judge to whom the first filed action was assigned. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The action denominated as Case No. CIV S-09-2521-LKK-CMK-P is

reassigned to United States Magistrate Judge Kimberly J. Mueller for all further proceedings; 2. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be

shown as No. CIV S-09-2521-LKK-KJM-P; and 3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
