UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LOUIS MITCHELL,

Petitioner,

v.

RAUL MORALES, et al.,

Respondents.

___________________________________

LONNIE ORLANDO MITCHELL,

No. 2:24-cv-2819-SCR

No. 2:24-cv-2823-CKD

 Petitioner,

 v.

RAUL MORALES, et al.,

 Respondents.

RELATED CASE ORDER

Petitioners in each of the above-captioned actions filed a notice of related cases in the 

respective case. Examination of these actions reveals that they are related within the meaning of 

Local Rule 123(a). Both actions appear to involve similar questions of fact and the same question 

of law. Accordingly, the Court finds that relating the cases is likely to effect a substantial savings 

of judicial effort. See E.D. Cal. L.R. 123(a).

The parties should be aware that relating cases under Local Rule 123 does not consolidate 

the actions. Under Local Rule 123, related cases are generally assigned to the judge to whom the 

first-filed action was assigned.

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. Case No. 2:24-cv-2823-CKD is reassigned from Chief Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. 

Delaney to Magistrate Judge Sean C. Riordan. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the 

reassigned case shall be shown as No. 2:24-cv-2823-SCR.

2. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil 

cases to compensate for this reassignment.

DATE: December 5, 2024
