UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.

Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are

24

related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve

25

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same

26

property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,

27

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

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

2

substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

3

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated as 2:13-cv-01594KJM-DAD is reassigned to Chief Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge

10

Carolyn K. Delaney for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this

11

reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue an Order

12

Requiring Joint Status Report. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case

13

shall be shown as 2:13-cv-01594-MCE-CKD. The Clerk of the Court shall make the

14

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this

15

reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
