The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on November 7, 2017.
Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are
related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve
many of the same parties and are based on the same or similar claims, the same
property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,
1

1

and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges.

2

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to affect a

3
4

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

5

has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the

6

action is affected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally

7

assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was

8

assigned.

9

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:17-cv-02056-TLN-

10

CMK is reassigned to District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge

11

Kendall J. Newman for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in 2:17-cv-

12

02056-TLN-CMK are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue the Initial

13

Pretrial Scheduling Order. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned

14

case shall be shown as 2:17-cv-02056-MCE-KJN.

15
16

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate
adjustment in the assignment of cases to compensate for this reassignment.

17

IT IS SO ORDERED.
