UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CALIFORNIANS FOR ALTERNATIVES

TO TOXICS, et. al.,

Plaintiffs,

No. CIV. S-05-1633 FCD KJM

 v. RELATED CASE ORDER

JACK TROYER, et. al.,

CALIFORNIANS FOR ALTERNATIVES

TO TOXICS, et. al.,

Plaintiffs,

No. CIV. S-10-1477 JAM GGH

 v.

U.S. FISH AND WILDLIFE SERVICE, 

et. al.,

Defendants.

________________________________/

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

of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve the same parties, 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 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 whom the first filed action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated, CIV. S-10-1477 JAM

GGH is reassigned to District Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr., and Magistrate Judge Kimberly J.

Mueller for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned case only are

hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be

shown as: CIV. S-10-1477 FCD KJM.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS FURTHER ORDER that the Clerk of Court issue an Order Requiring a Joint Status

Report for the undersigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: June 21, 2010
