No. 2:13-cv-0809 KJN P

The court has received the Notice of Related Cases concerning the above-captioned cases
filed October 17, 2013. See Local Rule 123.

24

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these cases are related within the

25

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same property, transaction or event and

26

similar questions of fact and the same question of law. Accordingly, assignment of the matters to

1

the same judge is likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is also likely to be

2

convenient for the parties.

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

7

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the action denominated as No. 2:13-cv-0809 KJN P is

8

reassigned to District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire for all

9

further proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be

10

shown as No. 2:13-cv-0809 KJM AC P and any and all dates currently set before the Honorable

11

Kendall J. Newman only are hereby vacated.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
