No. 2:14-cv-00099 MCE-DAD RELATED CASE ORDER SIEMENS INDUSTRY, INC., also doing business as and referred to as SIEMENS USA, SIEMENS CORPORATION and SIEMENS, 17 Defendant. 18 19 JARRID J. WHITLEY, on behalf of himself and others similarly situated, 20 21 22 23 24 25 No. 2:15-cv-00303 GEB-AC Plaintiff, v. SIEMENS INDUSTRY, INC., also doing business as and referred to as SIEMENS USA, SIEMENS CORPORATION and SIEMENS, Defendant. 26 The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on February 9, 2015. 27 Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are 28 related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve 1 1 many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same 2 property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law, 3 and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges. 4 Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a 5 substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties. 6 The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely 7 has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the 8 action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally 9 assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 10 11 assigned. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:15-cv-00303 GEB- 12 AC, Jarried J. Whitley v. Siemens Industry, Inc., etc. is reassigned to Chief Judge 13 Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Dale A. Drozd for all further proceedings, 14 and any dates currently set in this reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. The 15 Clerk of the Court is to issue an Order Requiring Joint Status Report. Henceforth, the 16 caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:15-cv-00303- 17 MCE-DAD. 18 19 20 21 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. Dated: February 24, 2015 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
