RELATED CASE ORDER
CITY OF SACRAMENTO, ET AL.,
15
Defendant.

Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are
18
related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve
19
many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same
20
property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,
21
and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges.
22
Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a
23
24
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
25
has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the
26
action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally
27
assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was
28
assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:16-CV-00415 is
2
reassigned to Chief Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. for all further proceedings, and any
3
dates currently set in 2:16-CV-00415 are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to
4
issue an Order Requiring Joint Status Report. Henceforth, the caption on documents
5
filed in the reassigned shall be shown as 2:16-CV-00415-MCE-AC.

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.
