HACK CULLING TOWNSEND, 16 ORDER RELATING CASES Defendant. 17 18 19 20 21 HACK CULLING TOWNSEND, 22 23 24 25 26 No. 2:22-cv-1349 EFB HC Petitioner, v. CHRISTOPHER HANSEN, Chief Probation Officer, Solano County Probation, Respondent. 27 28 1 1 ----oo0oo---- 2 Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that 3 they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a), because 4 Mr. Culling’s federal criminal case involves a potential 5 sentencing enhancement which is based on an underlying state 6 conviction, and Mr. Culling is seeking to collaterally attack 7 that state conviction in the federal habeas petition. 8 Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is 9 likely to effect a substantial saving of judicial effort and is 10 also likely to be convenient for the parties. 11 The parties should be aware that relating the cases 12 under Local Rule 123 merely has the result that both actions are 13 assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is 14 effected. 15 cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to 16 whom the first filed action was assigned. 17 Under the regular practice of this court, related IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 18 United States v. Culling, 2:20-cr-29 WBS, and Culling v. Hansen, 19 2:22-cv-1349 EFB HC, be, and the same hereby are, deemed related. 20 The case denominated Culling v. Hansen, 2:22-cv-1349 EFB HC, 21 shall be reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB. 22 currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. 23 Henceforth, the captions on documents filed in the reassigned 24 case shall be shown as Culling v. Hansen, 2:22-cv-1349 WBS EFB 25 HC. 26 27 Any dates IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make an appropriate adjustment in the assignment of cases to 28 2 1 compensate for this reassignment. 2 3 Dated: August 1, 2022 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 3
