Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule

123(a) because they involve the same defendant and similar 

claims. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same 

judge is likely to effect a substantial saving 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 123 merely has the result that both 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated

Shirley Garnett v. ADT LLC, Civ. No. 2:14-2851 WBS DAD, and

Richard Castillo v. ADT LLC, Civ. No. 15-383 JAM DAD, be, and the 

same hereby are, deemed related and the case denominated Richard 

Castillo v. ADT LLC, Civ. No. 15-383 JAM DAD, shall be assigned

to Senior District Judge William B. Shubb and Chief Magistrate 

Judge Dale A. Drozd. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed 

in that case shall be shown as Richard Castillo v. ADT LLC, Civ. 

No. 15-383 WBS DAD. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this assignment.
