 Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 83-

123, E.D. Cal. (1997). Both cases seek damages for personal

injuries and/or property damage arising out of the same vehicle

accident. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the

same judge is likely to effect a substantial saving 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 and the same magistrate judge; no consolidation of

the actions is effected. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 

Susan L. McIlravy & Darrell Christian v. United States Department

of Agriculture, Civ. S-06-02170 WBS-KJM-PS and State Farm Mutual

Automobile Insurance Company, Civ. S-06-02316 DFL-GGH should be,

and the same hereby are, deemed related and the case denominated

State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Company v. United States

of America, Civ. S-06-02316 DFL-GGH shall be reassigned to the

Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB and Magistrate Judge Kimberly J.

Mueller for all further proceedings. Henceforth the captions on

all documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as Civ.

S-06-02316 WBS KJM , and any dates currently set in the

reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make

appropriate adjustments in the assignment of civil cases to

compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
