IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TRAVIS D. REAY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-02-2067 GEB DAD P

vs.

A.K. SCRIBNER, Warden, et al.,

Respondents.

 /

NETTIE REAY,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-05-0356 FCD PAN P

vs.

GLORIA HENRY, Warden,

Respondent. ORDER

 /

The respondent in case No. CIV S-05-0356 FCD PAN P has

filed a Request for Reassignment of Case. Respondent states that

the petitioners in the above-captioned cases were jointly tried

and that the record is the same for both cases, except for briefs

filed separately for the petitioners. The record includes nine

volumes of transcripts and miscellaneous documents that were

lodged in case No. CIV S-02-2067 GEB DAD P on March 24, 2005.

Examination of the two cases reveals that the actions

involve the same state proceedings, are based on the same record,

and involve similar questions of fact and some of the same

questions of law. The assignment of the cases to the same

District Judge and the same Magistrate Judge is likely to effect

a substantial savings of judicial effort. If the two cases were

heard by different judges, a substantial duplication of labor

would be required. See Local Rule 83-123(a).

The parties should be aware that relating these cases

under Local Rule 83-123 merely has the result that the two cases

are assigned to the same judges; no consolidation of the two

actions is effected. Under the regular practice of this court,

the related cases will be assigned to the District Judge and

Magistrate Judge to whom the first-filed action was assigned. 

See Local Rule 83-123(c).

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The request for reassignment filed by respondent in

case No. CIV S-05-0356 FCD PAN P on April 28, 2005, is granted;

2. The action denominated as No. CIV S-05-0356 FCD PAN

P is reassigned to Judge Garland E. Burrell and Magistrate Judge

Dale A. Drozd for all further proceedings. Henceforth, the

caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown

as No. CIV S-05-0356 GEB DAD P. All dates set in the reassigned

case remain in effect; and

3. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate

adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for

this reassignment.

Dated: June 2, 2005
