UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JANIS KAIGHN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Defendant. 

___________________________________ 

JANIS KAIGHN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

DONALD TRUMP, 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-cv-02117-KJM-CKD 

No. 2:16-cv-02227-WBS-DB 

RELATED CASE ORDER 

 Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the 

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, both actions involve the same plaintiffs and similar 

questions of law, albeit against different defendants, and “assignment to the same Judge or 

Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort.” Local Rule 123(a)(3).

Accordingly, the assignment of these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial 

savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties. 

 The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions 

to be assigned to the same judge – it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related 

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 

assigned. 

 As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:16-cv-02227-WBS-DB is reassigned 

from Senior United States District Judge William B. Shubb to the undersigned and from 

Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes to Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney. Henceforth, the 

caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as CIV 2:16-cv-02227-KJMCKD. 

 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. 

DATED: September 26, 2016
