Case No. 2:18-CV-00551 MCEKJN

6
Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these

7
8

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal.

9

2005).

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same

10

judge and magistrate judge is likely to affect a substantial

11

savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for

12

the parties.
The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

13
14

Local Rule 123 merely has the result that these actions are

15

assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge; no consolidation

16

of the actions is effected.

17

court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge and

18

magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

Under the regular practice of this

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 2:18-CV-

19
20

00548 MCE-AC, 2:18-CV-00550 TLN-AC, and 2:18-CV-00551 MCE-KJN be

21

reassigned to Judge John A. Mendez and Magistrate Judge Allison

22

Claire for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in

23

this reassigned case only are hereby VACATED.

24

caption on documents filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown

25

as 2:18-CV-00548 JAM-AC, 2:18-CV-00550 JAM-AC, and 2:18-CV-00551

26

JAM-AC.

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to

compensate for this reassignment.
