Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that they are related within the meaning

25

of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same parties, and are based on the same or similar

26

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

This action arose against the then current Secretary of the Department of the Interior, Sally Jewell, and
continues against the current Secretary of the Department of the Interior, Ryan Zinke.

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

2

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

3

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

4

result that these actions are assigned to the same judge. No consolidation of the actions is

5

affected. Under the regular practice of this Court, related cases are generally assigned to the

6

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

7

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:17-cv-01750-MCE-CKD,

8

is hereby reassigned to District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Craig M. Kellison for

9

all further proceedings. Any dates currently set in the reassigned case are hereby VACATED.

10

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:17-cv-

11

01750-TLN-CMK.

13

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