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

Any dates
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make
