RELATED CASE ORDER

Defendants.

18

The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on June 5, 2017.

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

24

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

25
26

substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.
The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely

27

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

28

action is effected.

1

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

2

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

3

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated

4

2:17-cv-00952-TLN-GGH is reassigned to District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and

5

Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney for all further proceedings, and any dates currently

6

set in 2:17-cv-00952-TLN-GGH are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to

7

issue the Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in

8

the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:17-cv-00952-MCE-CKD.

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