UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

----oo0oo----

In re WILLIAM MATTHEW DUGO, 

 Debtor. 

BANK OF STOCKTON, 

 Plaintiff,

v.

WILLIAM MATTHEW DUGO, 

Defendant.

CIV. NO. 2:15-01989 WBS

 CIV. NO. 2:15-02539 MCE

 BANKR. NO. 14-22435-A-7

----oo0oo----

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 

123(a) because the actions involve appeals of the same underlying 

adversary bankruptcy proceeding. Accordingly, the assignment of 

the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial 

saving 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 both 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated In 

Re: William Matthew Dugo, Civ. No. 2:15-01989 WBS, and In Re: 

William Matthew Dugo, Civ. No. 2:15-02539 MCE, be, and the same 

hereby are, deemed related and the case denominated In Re: 

William Matthew Dugo, Civ. No. 2:15-02539 MCE, shall be 

reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB. Any dates 

currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. 

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case 

shall be shown as In Re: William Matthew Dugo, Civ. No. 2:15-

02539 WBS.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court

make appropriated adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that a status conference is set 

in both cases for April 25, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. No later than 

April 11, 2016, the parties shall file a joint status report in 

each case identifying the issues on appeal and proposing a 

briefing schedule and hearing date.

Dated: March 29, 2016
