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

26

of Local Rule 123(a)(2)-(3). The actions involve the same property, transaction or event and

27

similar questions of fact and the same questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial

28

duplication of labor if heard by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to
1

1
2

the same judge is likely to affect a substantial savings of judicial effort.
The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the

3

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

4

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

5

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

6

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:17-cv-00267-TLN-EFB is

7

hereby reassigned to Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes for all further proceedings. Any dates

8

currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on

9

documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:17-cv-00267-TLN-DB.

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