CV F 06-1302 OWW DLB

PRIOR CASE NUMBER

ORDER RELATING CASES

AND REASSIGNING NEW

DISTRICT COURT JUDGE

AND NEW MAGISTRATE

JUDGE

Examination of the papers filed in the above-entitled action reveals that it is related

within the meaning of Local Rule 83-123 to certain earlier-filed cases that are pending before this

court. This case and the earlier-filed cases are based on similar claims and involve similar

questions of fact or law, and assignment of all such cases to the same judge will therefore be

likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort. The earlier-filed cases to which the present

case is related include: Willis, et al. v. Cal-Western Transport, CV F 00-5695 AWI LJO; Barron

et al. v. Cal-Western Transport, CV F 01-5563 AWI LJO; Baganha et al. v. California Milk

Transport, CV F 01-5729 AWI LJO; Vasquez et al. v. Jim Aartman, Inc., CV F 02-5624 AWI

LJO; Morales v. Five J’s Trucking, CV F 04-5429 AWI LJO; Aguayo v. Oldenkamp Trucking,

CV F 04-6279 AWI LJO; Rees v. Souza Milk Transportation, Co., CV F 05-0297 AWI LJO;

Fuson v. C.L. Bryant, CV F 06-0766 AWI LJO; and Fuson v. Conti Materials, CV F 06-0769

AWI LJO.

 The parties should be aware that an order relating cases under Local Rule 83-123 merely 1

causes the cases to be assigned to the same district judge; no consolidation is effected. Cf. Fed.

R. Civ. P. 42(a). If the parties wish consolidation they should so agree by stipulation or request

consolidation by way of a noticed motion. 

2

According, the court ORDERS that:

1. This action is therefore reassigned to District Court Judge Anthony W. Ishii and

Magistrate Judge Lawrence J. O’Neill;

1

2. Henceforth, all documents filed in this case shall be filed under case number CV F 06-

1302 AWI LJO. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: September 27, 2006 /s/ Anthony W. Ishii
