Case No. 2:14-CV-01831 JAM-DAD
RELATED CASE ORDER

Case No. 2:14-CV-02116 TLN-AC

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these

23

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal.

24

2005). Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge

25

and magistrate judge is likely to affect a substantial savings of

26

judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the

27

parties.

28

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under
1

1

Local Rule 123 merely has the result that these actions are

2

assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge; no consolidation

3

of the actions is effected.

4

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:14-CV-

5

02116 TLN-AC be reassigned to Judge John A. Mendez and Magistrate

6

Dale A. Drozd for all further proceedings.

7

on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:14-

8

CV-02116 JAM-DAD.

9

Henceforth, the caption

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make

10

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to

11

compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
