Case No.: 2:21-cv-01126-RFB-NJK
ORDER

Case No.: 2:21-cv-01127-GMN-DJA
ORDER

In Phillips v. Ochoa, et. al, Plaintiff T. Matthew Phillips states that the above-named

16

cases “arise from similar fact patterns.” (See Compl., Phillips v. Ochoa, et. al, Case No.: 2:21-

17

cv-01127-GMN-DJA (D. Nev. 2021)). “In the name of judicial economy, Plaintiffs Shahrokhi

18

and Phillips file their lawsuits together.” (Id. at 2).

19

The court may assign related actions to a single district judge and magistrate judge. See

20

D. Nev. Local R. 42-1(a). Because the two related actions involve similar questions of fact and

21

the same questions of law, and their assignment to the same district and magistrate judge is

22

likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort, and because it would entail substantial

23

duplication of labor if the actions continue to be heard by different district and magistrate

24

judges, the court hereby transfers the subsequently filed related actions to District Judge

25

Richard F. Boulware, II and Magistrate Judge Nancy J. Koppe for all further proceedings.
