Case No. 2:15-CV-00623 MCE-EFB 

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these 

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal. 

2005). Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge 

and magistrate judge is likely to affect 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 these actions are 

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 the actions denominated 2:15-CV00622 TLN-CMK and Case No. 2:15-CV-00623 MCE-EFB be reassigned to 

Judge John A. Mendez and Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all 

further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned 

case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents 

filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown as 2:15-CV-00622 JAMEFB and Case No. 2:15-CV-00623 JAM-EFB. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this reassignment. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
