14

and magistrate judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of

15

16

parties.

17

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

related cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate

judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

Under the regular practice of this court,

S-11-1239 GEB/GGH, and the same hereby is, reassigned to Judge

25

Lawrence K. Karlton and Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all

further proceedings.
