1

The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on September 9, 2014.

2

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

3

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

4

the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same property

5

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

6

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

7

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

8

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

9

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

10

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

11

assigned.

12

For the reasons set forth above, the Court finds that Sausman v. Marrone Bio

13

Innovations, Inc. et al (2:14-cv-02072-MCE-KJN) and Martinelli v. Marrone Bio

14

Innovations, Inc. et al (2:14-cv-02055-MCE-KJN) ARE DESIGNATED as related actions

15

as defined by Local Rule 123(a). However, given that both actions are already assigned

16

to the same judges, no reassignment is necessary.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
