Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a)

(E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve many of the same

defendants and are based on the 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 both actions are

assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the action is

effected. Under the regular practice of this Court, related

cases are generally assigned to the district judge and magistrate

judge to whom the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:10-cv00681-LKK-KJM, Mark Munns, Administrator for the Estate of Joshua

Munns, et al. v. Hillary Diane Rodham Clinton, in her official

capacity as U.S. Secretary of State, et al. is reassigned to

Judge Morrison C. England, Jr., for all further proceedings, and

any dates currently set in this reassigned case only is hereby

VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue an Order Requiring

Joint Status Report. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed

in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:10-cv-00681-MCE-EFB.

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.
