BAM. Accordingly, assignment of the above-captioned actions to the undersigned and to

9

Magistrate Judge Barbara A. McAuliffe will promote efficiency and economy for the court and

10
11

the parties.
An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same

12

district judge and magistrate judge—it does not consolidate the cases. The local rules of this

13

district authorize the judge with the lowest numbered case to order the reassignment of any higher

14

numbered cases to himself or herself, upon determining that this assignment is likely to effect a

15

savings of judicial effort. L.R. 123(c). Such good cause appearing here, the court orders that

16

the two (2) above-captioned actions be reassigned to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge

17

Barbara A. McAuliffe and that they be related to each of the nineteen (19) already related

18

actions listed above. The documents in the above-captioned actions shall bear the new case

19

numbers above.

20

IT IS SO ORDERED.
