Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

18

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule

19

123(a) because they involve the same parties and similar claims.

20

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is

21

likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is

22

also likely to be convenient for the parties.

The parties should be aware that relating the cases

24

under Local Rule 123 merely has the result that both actions are

25

assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is

26

effected.

27

cases are generally assigned to the judge to whom the first filed
