1

Examination of the above-entitled miscellaneous and criminal

2

actions reveals that these actions are related within the meaning

3

of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997).

4

of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar

5

claims, the same property transaction or event, similar questions

6

of fact and the same questions of law, and would therefore entail

7

a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges.

8

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is

9

likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is

10

The actions involve many

also likely to be convenient for the parties.

11

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

12

Local Rule 123 merely has the result that both actions are

13

assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the action is

14

effected.

15

cases are generally assigned to the district judge and magistrate

16

judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

17

Under the regular practice of this court, related

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated

18

2:12-cr-00025-LKK, United States of America v. Stancil

19

Enterprises, Inc., Joseph Stancil, and Daniel Mathis is

20

reassigned to Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. for all further

21

proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned case

22

only is hereby VACATED.

23

filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as

24

2:12-cr-00025-MCE.
