Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that 

they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 83-123(a), since

they involve the same parties, are based on the same or similar

claims, and involve the same event. Accordingly, the assignment of

the actions 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 83-123 merely results in the actions being assigned to

the same judge and magistrate 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. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that action 2:07-cv-1855-LEW-GGH

is reassigned to Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr. for all further

proceedings, and any dates currently set in the reassigned case are

VACATED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the caption on documents filed

in the reassigned case shall show the case number as 2:07-cv-1855-

GEB-GGH. The Clerk of Court shall make an appropriate adjustment

in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this

reassignment and shall issue Judge Burrell’s Order Setting Status

(Pretrial Scheduling) Conference in 2:07-cv-1855-GEB-GGH, setting a

status conference for December 10, 2007, at 9:00 a.m. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 20, 2007

 

GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR.

United States District Judge
