Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that they are related within the meaning
of Local Rule 123(f). The basis to forfeit Defendant’s assets is the same as the basis underlying
the criminal plea agreement and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard
by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to
affect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

1

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the

2

result that these actions are assigned to the same judge. No consolidation of the actions is

3

affected. The undersigned will retain the first action, and so both actions shall be assigned to the

4

judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

5

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:18-cv-00348-MCE-EFB is

6

hereby reassigned to District Judge Troy L. Nunley for all further proceedings. Any dates

7

currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on

8

documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:18-cv-00348-TLN-EFB.

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