Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that 

they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a)(2) and (4)

(formerly rule 83-123). 

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

Local Rule 123 merely has the result that the 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.

Accordingly the court ORDERS as follows:

1. The above cases are RELATED.

2. The action denominated Civ. No. 2:09-cv-03308-WBS-EFB is

REASSIGNED to Judge Lawrence K. Karlton and Magistrate

Judge John F. Moulds for all further proceedings, and

any dates currently set in the reassigned case only, are

hereby VACATED.

3. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the

reassigned case shall be shown as No. 2:09-cv-03308-LKKJFM.

4. The Clerk of the Court make shall appropriate adjustment

in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this

reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 4, 2009.
