Review of this case reveals that it is related under this Court’s Local Rule 123 to the action

11
entitled Sears v. Bristol-Myers Squibb Co., 1:16-CV-65-LJO-BAM. The actions involve the same or
12
similar parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Accordingly, assignment of
13
the actions to the same district judge and magistrate judge will promote convenience, efficiency and
14

economy for the Court and parties. An order relating cases under this Court’s Local Rule 123 merely

15
assigns them to the same district judge and magistrate judge, and no consolidation of cases is effected.
16
On the basis of good cause, this Court ORDERS that the above-captioned action is reassigned
17

to U.S. Chief District Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill and U.S. Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe

18
with a new case number 1:16-cv-1479-LJO-BAM. All documents shall bear the new case number
19
1:16-cv-1479-LJO-BAM and the reassignment to U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill and U.S.
20
Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
