Defendants. 16 17 18 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 10 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 11 12 DENA M. MILLS, et al., 13 14 15 No. 1:16-cv-01075-DAD-EPG Plaintiffs, v. ORDER DECLINING TO RELATE CASES BAYER CORP., et al., 16 Defendants. 17 18 MARGIE ZAMORA, et al., Plaintiffs, 19 20 21 22 No. 2:17-cv-00587-WBS-AC v. BAYER CORP., et al., Defendants. 23 24 On March 23, 2017 and March 25, 2017, defendants filed notices of related cases in the 25 two above-captioned actions, listing a number of cases filed in the Eastern District of California 26 that are purportedly related to Dena M. Mills, et al. v. Bayer Corp., et al., 1:16-cv-01075-DAD- 27 EPG. Case Number 1:16-cv-01075-DAD-EPG is the lowest numbered case among these actions, 28 1 1 and was previously assigned to the undersigned. Local Rule 123 permits the judge to whom the 2 lowest numbered case is assigned to reassign all higher numbered related actions to himself or 3 herself, if they determine reassignment is “likely to effect a savings of judicial effort or other 4 economies.” L.R. 123(c). Because Case Number 1:16-cv-01075-DAD-EPG was voluntarily 5 dismissed on October 16, 2016, and no hearings of any kind were held before the court prior to 6 that voluntary dismissal, the undersigned concludes no judicial effort will be saved by relating 7 and re-assigning the subsequently filed cases. Therefore, the court declines to issue an order 8 relating these cases. 9 IT IS SO ORDERED. 10 Dated: April 17, 2017 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2
