1

The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on February 23, 2016.

2

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

3

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

4

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same

5

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

6

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

7

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a

8

substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

9

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

10

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

11

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

12

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

13

assigned.

14

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:16-cv-00225 TLN,

15

Stephen Austin DeGuire, et al. vs. Maricopa Orchards, LLC is reassigned to Chief Judge

16

Morrison C. England, Jr. for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this

17

reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Therefore, the caption on documents filed

18

in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:16-cv-00225 MCE.

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.
