15, 2008, Order. Examination of Civ. S-06-2730 JKS EFB PS, Ka’anoi v. Kerr and Civ. S-07-

2722 GEB JFM PS, Ka’anoi v. Dail, reveals that these two cases are related within the meaning

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

similar claims.

The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 83-123 merely

results in the actions being 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 action denominated Civ. S-07-2722 GEB JFM

PS, Ka’anoi v. Dail, be, and the same hereby is, reassigned to Judge James K. Singleton and

Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all further proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on

documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as No. Civ. S-07-2722 JKS EFB PS. 

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: March 24, 2008.
