Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are not related
25
within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Under Local Rule 123(a), two actions are related
26
when:
1

(1) [B]oth actions involve the same parties and are based on the same
or a similar claim;
(2) both actions involve the same property, transaction, or event;
(3) both actions involve similar questions of fact and the same question
of law and their assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to
effect a substantial savings of judicial effort, either because the same result should
follow in both actions or otherwise; or
(4) for any other reasons, it would entail substantial duplication of labor
if the actions were heard by different Judges or Magistrate Judges.
Local Rule 123(a)(3).
Although both cases name the California Department of Education (CDE) as a
8
defendant, Morgan Hill focuses on CDE’s alleged deficiencies throughout the state, whereas the
9
facts alleged in the Everett H complaint concern only one particular school. Thus, assigning
10
both cases to the same judge would not result in a substantial savings of judicial effort.
11
court declines to reassign Everett H under Local Rule 123(c).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: July 31, 2013.
