UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 

Plaintiff, 

v.

GURDEV KAUR JOHL, 

Defendant.

No. 2:16-MC-00040-MCE-EFB 

No. 2:12-CR-00180-MCE

RELATED CASE ORDER 

The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on March 4, 2016, (ECF 

No. 336). 

Examination of the above-entitled civil and criminal actions reveals that these 

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The 

actions involve the same defendant 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 123 merely 

has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the 

action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally 

assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 

assigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
