Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they

are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123. The actions

involve similar parties and are based on similar events, 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 to

the parties.

Relating the cases under Local Rule 123 effectuates the

result that these actions are assigned to the same judge;

relation of these actions, however, does not produce

consolidation. 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.

Therefore, the court makes the following order: The action

denominated “CIV. S-12-1541 KJM” is REASSIGNED to the

undersigned. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in this

reassigned case shall be shown as “CIV. S-12-01541 TLN”

The Clerk of Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 14, 2013
