1

It has come to the court’s attention that defendant in the case captioned 2:11-cv-00643

2

has filed a notice of related cases.1 Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they

3

are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). These actions involve essentially the same

4

parties, are based on similar claims, and involve similar questions of fact and law. Accordingly,

5

the assignment of these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of

6

judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties.

7

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that No. 2:10-cv-02411-MCE-EFB is reassigned from

8

the undersigned to District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller and that No. 2:11-cv-00982-KJM-DAD is

9

reassigned from Magistrate Judge Drozd to Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan. Henceforth,

10

the caption on documents filed in No. 2:10-cv-02411 MCE-EFB shall be shown as: No. 2:10-cv-

11

02411-KJM-EFB; and the caption on documents filed in No. 2:11-cv-00982-KJM-DAD shall be

12

shown as: No. 2:11-cv-00982-KJM-EFB.

It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the
assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: July 28, 2011
