UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MICHAEL GRAVES

 Plaintiff,

v.

AUDREY KING, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 1:14-cv-1600-DLB (PC)

New Case No. 1:14-cv-1600-MJS (PC)

ORDER RELATING CASES AND 

REASSIGNING ACTION TO MAGISTRATE 

JUDGE MICHAEL J. SENG

On October 6, 2014, Plaintiff filed this Civil Rights Complaint pursuant to 42 

U.S.C. section 1983 challenging Defendants’ assessment, classification and detention of 

Plaintiff under California’s Sexually Violent Predator Act and failure to provide him

outpatient treatment in violation of the Fourteenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. 

(ECF No. 1.)

A number of virtually identical actions have been filed in or transferred to this 

Court. The Court’s review of these cases reveals that the instant action is related under 

Local Rule 123 to the action entitled Klein v. King, 1:14-cv-01440-MJS. Both actions are 

based on the same underlying facts and involve overlapping questions of law and fact. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Office of the Clerk shall relate this case with case 1:14-cv-01440-MJS;

2. This case shall be assigned to the docket of Magistrate Judge Michael J.

Use of an incorrect case number or incorrect judge’s initials may result in 

delay in processing documents and distribution of copies to the judge 

assigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
