be filed under case number 2:15-cv-02021-TLN. The Court construes this as a request to 

consolidate the cases. 

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

of Local Rule 123. The actions involve the same parties, are based on the same underlying 

action, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges. 

Accordingly, consolidation of the matters is likely to affect a substantial savings of judicial effort.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Appellants’ Motion to Consolidate case number 

2:16-cv-02751-JAM and 2:15-cv-02021-TLN is GRANTED. Case number 2:16-cv-02751-JAM 

is hereby reassigned to Judge Troy L. Nunley and consolidated under Case number 2:15-cv02021-TLN. The parties are hereby ordered to file any objections, arguments, or appeals to the 

above bankruptcy appeal under case number 2:15-cv-02021-TLN.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustments in the 

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
