are based on the same or similar claims, the same property transaction or event, similar questions

of fact and the same questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of

labor if heard by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same 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 has

the result that these 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.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated, CR S-05-365 WBS are

reassigned to Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set

in these reassigned cases only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents

filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown as, CR S-05-365 FCD. The status conference set

before the Honorable William B. Shubb for October 12, 2005 is VACATED and RESET before

the Honorable Frank C. Damrell Jr. for Tuesday, October 11, 2005 at 9:30 a.m. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of criminal cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: September 21, 2005
