RELATED CASE ORDER

1

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

2

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, “actions involve similar questions of fact and the same

3

question of law and their assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a

4

substantial savings of judicial effort.” Local Rule 123(a)(3). Accordingly, the assignment of

5

these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is

6

likely to be convenient for the parties.

7

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

8

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

9

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

10
11

assigned.
As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:20-CV-01645 KJM-KJN PS

12

is reassigned from Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman to Magistrate Judge Carolyn K.

13

Delaney. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as:

14

2:20-CV-01645 KJM-CKD PS.

15

It is further ORDERED that 2:20-CV-01646 JAM-CKD PS is reassigned from

16

Judge John A. Mendez to the undersigned. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the

17

reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:20-CV-01646 KJM-CKD PS.

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.
DATED: September 30, 2020.
