Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that the actions are related within the
meaning of E.D. Cal. Local Rule 123. The actions arise out of the same transaction or series of

24
transactions, involve the same parties, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of
25
26

labor if heard by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge

27

is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the

28

parties.
1

1

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

2

result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is effected.

3

Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge to whom

4

the first filed action was assigned.

5

Because the cases are already assigned to the same magistrate judge, this order is issued

6

for informational purposes only and shall have no effect on the status of the cases.
