UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TIMOTHY S. TOFAUTE and DAVID 

DIXON,

Plaintiffs,

v.

COUNTY OF MADERA et al.,

Defendants.

No. 1:16-cv-01627-AWI-SKO

ORDER RELATING AND REASSIGNING 

CASE

Review of the above-captioned action reveals it is related under this court’s Local Rule 

123 to an action pending before the undersigned: John Oliveira v. Cty. of Madera, Case No. 

1:16-cv-01626-DAD-SKO. These actions involve the same or similar parties, properties, claims, 

events and/or questions of fact or law. In addition, the currently assigned district judge has not 

engaged in this matter in any substantial way. Accordingly, assignment of the actions to the 

undersigned and to Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto will promote efficiency and economy for 

the court and parties. 

An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same 

district judge and magistrate judge, and does not consolidate the cases. Good cause appearing, 

the court orders that the above-captioned action is reassigned to U.S. District Judge Dale A.
