TRANSFERRING ACTION FROM

DOCKETS OF JUDGE ISHII AND

MAGISTRATE JUDGE AUSTIN TO

DOCKETS OF JUDGE WANGER AND

MAGISTRATE JUDGE BECK 

Pursuant to Rule 83-123, Local Rules of Practice, this

action is related to Melvin Jones, Jr. v. Michael Tozzi, et al.,

No. CV-F-05-148 OWW/DLB. 

This action alleges fraud on the court committed during

pretrial and trial proceedings in No. CV-F-05-148 OWW/DLB. 

Plaintiff had moved to vacate the judgment in No. CV-F-05-148

OWW/DLB based on the same allegations of fraud by Mr. Wainwright,

but elected to withdraw that motion in order to file this

independent action.

The assignment of this independent action for fraud to Judge

Wanger and Magistrate Judge Beck will negate substantial

duplication of labor, Rule 83-123(a)(4), and will negate

Plaintiff's apparent attempt at forum-shopping, Rule 83-123(d).

ACCORDINGLY:

1. This action is related to Case No. CV-F-05-148 OWW/DLB;

2. This action is transferred from the dockets of Judge

Ishii and Magistrate Judge Austin to the dockets of Judge Wanger

and Magistrate Judge Beck. All future filings in this action

will be designated: "No. CV-F-08-318 OWW/DLB."

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 11, 2008 /s/ Oliver W. Wanger
