RELATED CASE ORDER

v.
GLOBAL TRAVEL INTERNATIONAL,
INC.,
Defendant.

23
24
25

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

26

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, both actions involve the same claim against the same

27

defendants based on similar questions of fact. Accordingly, the assignment of these matters to the

28
1

1

same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient

2

for the parties. Local Rule 123(a)(3).

3

The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions

4

to be assigned to the same judge – it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related

5

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was

6

assigned.

7

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:16-cv-01821-JAM-CKD is reassigned

8

from District Judge John A. Mendez to the undersigned and from Magistrate Judge Carolyn K.

9

Delaney to Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the

10
11
12
13
14

reassigned case shall be shown as 2:16-cv-01821-KJM-AC.
It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in
the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
