IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA TAMARA LYNN FUTRELL, Plaintiff, v. SACRAMENTO COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES, Defendant. / TAMARA LYNN FUTRELL, Plaintiff, v.

Examination of the above-captioned actions, which involve the same or similar legal claims based on the same set of facts, reveals that assignment of the matters to the same judge and magistrate judge is likely to effectuate a substantial saving of judicial effort. See E. Dist. Local Rule 123(a). Accordingly, the actions will be assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge. Pursuant to Local Rule 123(c) and the regular practice of this court, the cases will be assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned. Reassignment of the later-filed case merely has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge. No consolidation of the cases is effectuated. Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that: 1. The action denominated as No. 2:10-cv-2425 GEB GGH PS is reassigned

to District Judge John A. Mendez and Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in the reassigned case are vacated. Henceforth, the caption on all documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as No. 2:10-cv-2425 JAM KJN PS; and 2. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: October 5, 2010 /s/ John A. Mendez THE HONORABLE JOHN A. MENDEZ United States District Judge
