v.

LEPE, et al.,

Defendants.

CASE NO. 1:12-cv-01533-AWI-MJS

ORDER ACKNOWLEDGING NOTICE OF 

RELATED CASES

(ECF NO. 35)

Plaintiff Nigel Gillings, a federal prisoner proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis, 

filed this civil rights action pursuant to Bivens v. Six Unknown Named Agents of the 

Federal Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 388 (1971) on September 17, 2012. (ECF No. 1.) 

The action proceeds on Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint which alleges Defendant 

Lepe sprayed Plaintiff with a chemical agent in a manner that violated Plaintiff’s Eighth 

Amendment rights. (ECF No. 7.)

On January 10, 2014, Defendant notified the Court in accordance with Local Rule 

123 that Holmes v. Lepe, 1:12-cv-01649-AWI-MJS (PC), involves the same parties and 

is based on the same underlying events. (ECF No. 35.) Both cases are currently 

assigned to the same Magistrate Judge and District Court Judge.
