cv-02292-WBS-EFB is also related to the actions above within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). 

The actions involve the same defendants, are based on the same series of events, and involve similar 

questions of fact and 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 affect a 

substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties. See L.R. 

123(a), (c).

The parties are reminded that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the 

result that both actions are assigned to the same judge, it does not consolidate the actions. The 

parties may file a motion to consolidate the cases. 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 action denominated 2:19-cv-02292-WBS-EFB is 

reassigned to District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Dennis M. Cota, and the 

caption shall read 2:19-cv-02292-TLN-DMC. The Clerk of the Court is to issue the Initial 

Pretrial Scheduling Order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
