Plaintiff,

No. 2:23-cv-00474-DJC-DMC
New Case No. 2:23-cv-00474-DAD-DMC

v.
PROCTER & GAMBLE COMPANY,
Defendant.

An examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the

23

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Accordingly, assignment of the above-captioned actions to the

24

same district judge and magistrate judge will promote substantial efficiency and economy for the

25

court and is likely to be convenient for the parties.

26

An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same

27

district judge and magistrate judge—it does not consolidate the cases. The local rules of this

28

district authorize the judge with the lowest numbered case to order the reassignment of any higher
1

1

numbered cases to himself or herself, upon determining that this assignment is likely to effect a

2

savings of judicial effort. L.R. 123(c). Such good cause appearing here, the court orders that

3

Case No. 2:23-cv-00474-DJC-DMC is reassigned to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge

4

Dennis M. Cota. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:23-

5

cv-00474-DAD-DMC. It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate

6

adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
