DR. MARKS, et al.,
Defendants.

17

Many individuals in the custody of the Nevada Department of Corrections

18

(“NDOC”) have filed actions in the District of Nevada alleging that NDOC’s policy for

19

treating hepatitis C amounts to deliberate indifference in violation of the Eighth

20

Amendment. The Clerk of the Court has randomly assigned the bulk of these cases to

21

Judge Miranda M. Du, including the earliest filed of these cases with the lowest case

22

numbers.1 The bulk of these pending cases are also referred to United States Magistrate

23

Judge Carla Baldwin Carry.

24

Given that the plaintiffs in the above-captioned pending cases challenge NDOC’s

25

policy for treating hepatitis C, this Court has determined that these actions are related

26

and there is good cause to refer these cases to one magistrate judge under Local Rule

27
28

1A

number of the earliest filed of these cases are now closed: 3:16-cv-00309-MMDVPC; 3:16-cv-00399-MMD-CBC; 3:16-cv-00535-MMD-VPC; 3:17-cv-00101-MMD-WGC;
3:17-cv-00264-MMD-WGC; 3:17-cv-00351-MMD-CBC; 3:17-cv-00478-MMD-WGC;
3:17-cv-00583-MMD-WGC; 3:18-cv-00068-MMD-CBC; and 3:18-cv-00303-MMD-CBC.

42-1(b) as well as Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a)(3). Referral will promote judicial

2

efficiency, avoid duplicative filings by the parties, and will not result in prejudice to the

3

parties. Accordingly, it is hereby ordered that the following cases are referred to

4

Magistrate Judge Carla Baldwin Carry: Case Nos. 3:16-cv-00690-MMD-WGC; 3:17-cv-

5

00278-MMD-WGC; 2:17-cv-01627-MMD-CWH; and 3:18-cv-00464-MMD-WGC.
