The court has received the Notice of Related Cases (Notice) concerning the abovecaptioned cases filed January 8, 2016, see Local Rule 123, as well as the response by plaintiffs in 

Case No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM KJN to the Notice. Upon review, the court has determined it is

KJM KJN, and therefore declines to do so.

The Notice also asserts that Case No. 2:15-cv-02656 KJM CKD is related to two cases 

filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, Armstrong, et al. 

v. Brown, et al., Case No. 4:94-cv-02307-CW, and Madrid, et al. v. Department of Corrections, et 

al., Case No. 3:90-cv-03094 TEH,1 and to a case pending in the Sacramento County Superior 

Court, California Correctional Peace Officers Association v. State of California, Department of 

Corrections and Rehabilitation and State of California, Department of Human Resources, Case 

No. 34-2015-00188266. Local Rule 123 applies only to cases filed in the United States District 

Court for the Eastern District of California and does not authorize this court to relate actions filed 

in this court to actions filed in other courts. 

Nothing in this order should be construed as a finding on the merits of any of the 

assertions in the Notice or the response of the Coleman plaintiffs to the Notice.

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: March 1, 2016.
