UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RONALD S. WILSON,

Plaintiff, No. CIV. S-09-0071 FCD DAD 

v.

CHARLES BOYKIN, Individually and dba RELATED CASE ORDER

WESTERN RANCH and PET SUPPLY, 

Defendant.

________________________________/

SCOTT N. JOHNSON,

Plaintiff,

No. CIV. S-09-3034 FCD EFB

v.

CHARLES BOYKIN, Individually and dba,

WESTERN RANCH SUPPLY,

Defendant.

________________________________/

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 or similar defendants, 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-09-3034 FCD EFB,

having already been randomly assigned to Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr., does not require

reassignment. However, the matter shall be reassigned to Magistrate Judge Dale A. Drozd for all

further proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be

shown as: CIV S-09-3034 FCD DAD.

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 SO ORDERED.

DATED: February 3, 2010
