Defendant Countrywide Home Loans, Inc. (“Countrywide”)

contends the above civil actions are related within the meaning of

Local Rule 123(a) and should be assigned to the same district

judge. Countrywide argues the actions are related because they

involve “the same parties and are based on a similar claim,” and 

involve “Plaintiffs’ [same] property in Yuba City, California. 

(Not. Related Cases. 1:10-16.)

Under the regular practice of this Court, related cases 

are generally assigned to the district judge to whom the first

filed action was assigned. Since the actions appear related,

action No. 2:10-cv-00342-FCD-DAD is reassigned to Judge Garland E.

Burrell, Jr. Henceforth the caption on documents filed in the

reassigned case shall show the initials “GEB” instead of “FCD.”

The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment

in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this

reassignment.

Dated: April 7, 2010

 

GARLAND E. BURRELL, JR.

United States District Judge
