involve similar questions of fact and the same question of law and their assignment to the same 

Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort.” Id. 

The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions 

to be assigned to the same judge—it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related 

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 

assigned. 

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that Case No. 2:15-cv-01145-JAM-EFB is 

reassigned from District Judge John A. Mendez to the undersigned and from Magistrate Judge 

Edmund F. Brennan to Magistrate Judge Kendall J. Newman. Henceforth, the caption on 

documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:15-cv-01145-KJM-KJN. 

It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in 

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: October 1, 2015.
