Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that 

the five (5) actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule

83-123 for the reason that the civil forfeiture actions arise from

the same law enforcement investigation, and thus involves

substantially the same parties, events and transactions. 

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 83-123 merely has the result that the five (5) 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 actions denominated CIV. NO.

S-07-2050 LKK/DAD and CIV. NO. S-07-2124 GEB/JFM be, and the same

hereby are, reassigned to Judge Lawrence K. Karlton and Magistrate

Judge Kimberly J. Mueller for all further proceedings, and any

dates currently set in the reassigned cases only, are hereby

VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the

reassigned cases shall be shown as CIV. NO. S-07-2050 LKK/KJM and

CIV. NO. S-07-2124 LKK/KJM, respectively.
