 RELATED CASE ORDER

Defendant.

 /

Pending before the court is a notice of related cases

concerning United States v. Herrera, 2:05-cr-410-LKK and United

States v. Herrera, 2:10-mc-51-FCD-EFB.

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that 

they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123. The earlier

case resulted in a judgment imposing $350,000 in restitution on

Herrera, and the latter case seeks a writ of garnishment to be used

in satisfying this judgment. Accordingly, the assignment of the

matters to the same judge and magistrate judge is likely to effect

a substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be

convenient for the parties. 

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

Local Rule 123 merely has the result that the actions are assigned

to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is effected.

Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are

generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the

first filed action was assigned.

Accordingly the court ORDERS as follows:

1. The above cases are RELATED.

2. The action denominated Civ. No. 2:10-mc-51-FCD-EFB is

REASSIGNED to Judge Lawrence K. Karlton for all further

proceedings, and any dates currently set in the

reassigned case only, are hereby VACATED.

3. Because the earlier case was a criminal case to which no

magistrate judge was assigned, Magistrate Judge Brennan

shall remain assigned to the latter case.

4. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the

reassigned case shall be shown as Civ. No. 2:10-mc-51-

LKK-EFB.
