merely has the result that both actions are assigned to the same magistrate judge. No

consolidation of the cases is effected.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The action denominated as No. CIV S-07-2717 FCD GGH PS is reassigned

from Magistrate Judge Gregory G. Hollows to Magistrate Judge Dale A. Drozd. Henceforth, the

caption on all documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as No. CIV S-07-2717 FCD

DAD PS; and

2. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of

civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
