TIMOTHY SUDDETH, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

EL DORADO COUNTY SHERIFF’S 

DEPARTMENT, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-0774 AC P 

RELATED CASE ORDER 

 On April 10, 2015, this court issued an order severing these four cases. Examination of 

these actions reveals that they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123. These actions 

“involve similar questions of fact and the same question[s] of law and their assignment to the 

same . . . Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort,” Local Rule 

123(a)(3), and be convenient for the parties. All plaintiffs have consented to the jurisdiction of 

the undersigned Magistrate Judge for all purposes. See 28 U.S.C. § 636(c) and Local Rule 

305(a). Should any of these actions also require later assignment to a District Judge, such 

assignment shall be to the same District Judge assigned to any other of these related cases. 

 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the above-identified actions are related. 

The parties are informed that, although these cases are related under Local Rule 123, they are not 

consolidated. The Clerk of Court is directed to make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of 

civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
