The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on March 19, 2014.

26

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

27

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

28

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same
1

1

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

2

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

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

assigned.

10

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:14-cv-00718-WBS-

11

KJN, Jameson Beach Property Owners Association, et al. v. U.S. Department of

12

Agriculture, et al. is reassigned to Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Allison Claire for

13

all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned case only is

14

hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue an Order Requiring Joint Status

15

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

16

shown as 2:14-cv-00718-MCE-AC.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate
adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
