TRANSPORTATION INSURANCE

COMPANY, et al., 

Defendants.

________________________________/

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

of Local Rule 83-123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve the same parties and are based on

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

the same questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard

by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same 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 these actions are assigned to the same 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 S-05-0688 DFL/PAN

is reassigned to Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. for all further proceedings, and any dates currently

set in this reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents

filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as, CIV S-05-0688 FCD/DAD.

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

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: May 31, 2005
