The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on May 2, 2018.

24

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

25

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

26

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

27

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

28
1

1

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

2

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

3
4

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

5

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

6

action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally

7

assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was

8

assigned.

9

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 18-cv-00106-JAM-

10

KJN is reassigned to District Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Magistrate Judge

11

Kendall J. Newman for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in 18-cv-

12

00106-JAM-KJN are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue the Initial

13

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

14

case shall be shown as 18-cv-00106-MCE-KJN.

15
16
17

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate
adjustment in the assignment of cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
