UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MATTHEW HALL,

Plaintiff,

v.

MARLENE ROBICHEAUX-SMITH, et al.,

Defendants.

_____________________________________/

Case No. 1:14-cv-01890-LJO-SKO (PC)

New Case No. 1:14-cv-01890-LJO-GSA (PC)

ORDER RELATING CASES AND 

REASSIGNING ACTION TO UNITED 

STATES MAGISTRATE JUDGE GARY S. 

AUSTIN

Plaintiff Matthew Hall, a state prisoner proceeding pro se, filed this civil action in Kings 

County Superior Court on July 10, 2014, and it was removed by Defendants Robicheaux-Smith, 

Graves, and Clark on November 25, 2014. 28 U.S.C. § 1441. Plaintiff seeks relief, in relevant 

part, for the violation of his rights under the First Amendment of the United States Constitution at 

California State Prison-Corcoran. 42 U.S.C. § 1983. 

A number of virtually identical actions have been removed to this Court. 28 U.S.C. § 

1441. The Court’s review of these cases reveals that the instant action is related under Local Rule 

123 to the action entitled Sands v. Smith, 1:14-cv-01780-LJO-GSA (PC). Both actions are based 

on the same or substantially similar underlying facts and involve overlapping questions of law and 

fact. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Office of the Clerk shall relate this case with case 1:14-cv-01780-LJO-GSA 

(PC);

2. This case shall be reassigned to the docket of United States Magistrate Judge Gary 

S. Austin;

3. The new case number shall be:

1:14-cv-01890-LJO-GSA (PC)

and all future pleadings and/or correspondence must be so numbered; use of an 

incorrect case number or incorrect judge’s initials may result in delay in processing 

documents and distribution of copies to the judge assigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
