National Marine Fisheries Service, et 22 al., Case No. 2:13-cv-00059 MCE-EFB; as well as Yuba County Water 23 Agency v. National Marine Fisheries Service, No. 2:13-cv-00042-MCE- 24 CKD, be related to South Yuba River Citizens League, et al. v. 25 National Marine Fisheries Service, et al., 2:06-cv-2845 LKK-JFM. 26 //// Pl's Not., ECF Plaintiff requests that two cases, South Yuba River 2 1 2 3 Eastern District of California Local Rule 123(a) provides that an action is related to another action when: (1) both actions involve the same parties and are based on the same or a similar claim; 4 5 6 7 8 (2) both actions involve transaction, or event; the same property, (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 9 10 11 12 (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) (2013). 13 The court finds that South Yuba River Citizens League, et al. 14 v. National Marine Fisheries Service, et al., case no. 2:06-cv-2845 15 LKK-JFM is not sufficiently related to South Yuba River Citizens 16 League, et al. v. National Marine Fisheries Service, et al., Case 17 No. 2:13-cv-00059 MCE-EFB and Yuba County Water Agency v. National 18 Marine Fisheries Service, No. 2:13-cv-00042-MCE-CKD. Reassignment 19 of the two pending actions to the undersigned is not likely to 20 effect a savings of judicial effort or other economies. 21 The court, therefore, DECLINES to relate the cases. 22 IT IS SO ORDERED. 23 DATED: March 7, 2013. 24 25 26 3
