v.

RELATED CASE ORDER

COUNTY OF SACRAMENTO,

15

Defendant.

16
17

The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on January 19, 2017.

18

Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are

19

related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve

20

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same

21

property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,

22

and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges.

23

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a

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
26

has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the

27

action is effected.

28

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:17-cv-00085- is

reassigned to District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Edmund F.

2:17-cv-00085- are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue the Initial

Pretrial Scheduling Order. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned

shall be shown as 2:17-cv-00085- MCE-EFB.
