Case No. 2:16-CV-00840 MCE-EFB

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these 

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal. 

2005). Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same 

judge and magistrate judge is likely to affect 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 123 merely has the result that these 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 2:16-CV00840 MCE-EFB be reassigned to Judge John A. Mendez and Magistrate 

Judge Allison Claire 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 cases 

shall be shown as 2:16-CV-00840 JAM-AC. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this reassignment. 

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

Dated: May 5, 2016. /s/ John A. Mendez
