ROBERT “BOSTON” WOODARD,

Plaintiff, No. 2:11-cv-1807 GEB JFM (PC)

vs.

JOHN W. HAVILAND, et al.,

Defendants. RELATED CASE ORDER

 /

The court has received the Notice of Related Cases filed July 8, 2011.

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that the actions are related within the meaning

of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same parties, and are based on the same or similar

claims, the same property, transaction or event, the same questions of fact and the same question

of law. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge and magistrate 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 actions are assigned to the same judge and magistrate 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. NO. 2:11-cv1807-GEB-JFM be, and the same hereby, reassigned to Judge Lawrence K. Karlton for all

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

shown as CIV. NO. 2:11-cv-1807-LKK-JFM.

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.

DATED: September 29, 2011.
