RELATED CASE ORDER

/

Examination of the two above-entitled actions reveals that

23 they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a), as they
24 involve some of the same parties, are based on similar claims, and
25 involve similar questions of fact and some of the same questions of
26 law. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge
1

1 and magistrate judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of
2 judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the
3 parties.
4

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

5 Local Rule 123 merely has the result that the two actions are
6 assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge; no consolidation
7 of the actions is effected. Under the regular practice of this
8 court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge and
9 magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.
10

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that, pursuant to Local Rule 123(c),

11 the action denominated 2:12-CV-02921-GEB-DAD is hereby REASSIGNED
12 to Judge Lawrence K. Karlton and Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan
13 for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this
14 reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on
15 documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:12-CV16 02921-LKK-EFB.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make

18 appropriate

adjustments
