JUDGE LAWRENCE J. O’NEILL AND 

MAGISTRATE JUDGE STANLEY A. BOONE

On December 19, 2015, Plaintiff filed this action alleging deliberate indifference in 

violation of the Eighth Amendment. (Doc. 1.) The complaint generally alleges that the 

defendants were deliberately indifferent by housing Plaintiff at Pleasant Valley State Prison due 

to the prevalence of Valley Fever in the area. 

A series of similar actions have been related and consolidated. Review of this action 

reveals that it is related under Local Rule 123 to the actions entitled Bates v. Schwarzenegger, 

1:14-cv-02085-LJO-SAB; Altamirano v. Schwarzenegger, 1:15-cv-00607-LJO-SAB; Alaniz v. 

Schwarzenegger, 1:15-cv-01063-LJO-SAB; Aparicio v. Schwarzenegger, 1:15-cv-01369-LJOSAB. The actions are based on the same 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 to Bates v. Schwarzenegger, 1:14-cvCase 1:15-cv-01901-LJO-SAB Document 8 Filed 12/24/15 Page 1 of 2
