_______________________________________/

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

Local Rule 83-123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve many of the same defendants and 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
