Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

3

they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a), because

4

both cases allege claims against Party City Corporation for

5

violations of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transactions Act

6

("FACTA"), 15 U.S.C. §§ 1681 et seq., based upon the printing of

7

the expiration date of a credit card on customer receipts.

8

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is

9

likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is

10

also likely to be convenient for the parties.

11

The parties should be aware that relating the cases

12

under Local Rule 123 merely has the result that both actions are

13

assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is

14

effected.

15

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to

16

whom the first filed action was assigned.

17

Under the regular practice of this court, related

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated

18

Medrano v. Party City Corp., Case No. 2:16-cv-2996 WBS EFB, and

19

Pasini v. Party City Corp., Case No. 2:17-cv-962 TLN CKD, be, and

20

the same hereby are, deemed related.

21

v. Party City Corp., Case No. 2:17-cv-962 TLN CKD, shall be

22

reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB.

23

currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED.

24

Henceforth, the captions on documents filed in the reassigned

25

case shall be shown as Pasini v. Party City Corp., Case No. 2:17-

26

cv-962 WBS EFB.

27

The case denominated Pasini

Any dates

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make

28
2

1

an appropriate adjustment in the assignment of cases to

2

compensate for this reassignment.
