Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the
25
meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, “both actions involve the same parties and are based on the
26
same or a similar claim,” Local Rule 123(a)(1), and “both actions involve the same property,
27
transaction, or event,” Local Rule 123(a)(2).

The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions
2
to be assigned to the same judge – it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related
3
cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was
4
assigned.
5
As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that Case No. 2:17-cv-00112-MCE-EFB is
6
reassigned from United States District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. to the undersigned and
7
from Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan to Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman.

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:17-cv-
