Defendants.

Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the

26

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, “both actions involve similar questions of fact and the same

27

question of law and their assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a

28
1

1

substantial savings of judicial effort.” Local Rule 123(a)(3). Accordingly, the assignment of

2

these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is

3

likely to be convenient for the parties.

4

The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions

5

to be assigned to the same judge—it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related

6

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was

7

assigned.

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that Case No. 2:19-cv-01075-WBS-DB is
reassigned from The Honorable Judge William B. Shubb to the undersigned and from Magistrate

10

Judge Deborah Barnes to Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan. Henceforth, the caption on

11

documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: Case No. 2:19-cv-01075-KJM-EFB.
