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

24

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). “[B]oth actions involve similar questions of fact and the same

25

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

26

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

27

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

28

likely to be convenient for the parties.

Relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions to be assigned to the same judge—it

2

does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related cases are generally assigned to the

3

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

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that Case No. 2:22-cv-01378-DB is reassigned from

5

Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. The

6

caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:22-cv-01378-KJM-AC.

It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
DATED: September 15, 2022.
