successor-in-interest to RAMON

ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, et al.,

New Case No. 1:15-cv-01709-LJO-SAB

ORDER RELATING CASES AND 

REASSIGNING ACTION TO UNITED STATES 

DISTRICT JUDGE LAWRENCE J. O’NEILL 

AND MAGISTRATE JUDGE STANELY A. 

BOONE

On November 9, 2015, Plaintiff filed this action alleging deliberate indifference in 

violation of the Eighth Amendment and racial discrimination in violation of the Fourteenth 

Amendment. (ECF No. 1.) The complaint generally alleges that the defendants were deliberately 

indifferent by housing Ramon Talamantez Mendoza 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. A review of this action 

reveals that it is related under Local Rule 123 to the actions entitled Jackson, et al. v. State of 

California, et al., 1:13-cv-01055-LJO-SAB; and Smith, et al. v. Schwarzeneggar, et al., 1:14-cv00060-LJO-SAB. The actions are based on the same underlying facts and involve overlapping 

questions of law and fact.
