UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

EDWARD A. GLADDING , et al.,

Plaintiffs, No. CIV S-04- 2605 FCD/GGH

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

Defendant.

________________________________/

OLIVE GRAVES,

Plaintiff, No. CIV S-05-1661 GEB/JFM

v.

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.

et al., RELATED CASE ORDER

Defendants.

____________________________________/

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that they are related within the meaning

of Local Rule 83-123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve many of the same defendants and

are based on the same or similar claims, the same event, similar questions of fact and the same

questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by

different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect

a substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

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

the result that these actions are assigned to the same 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-05-1661 GEB/JFM

is reassigned to Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Gregory G. Hollows for all

further proceedings, and any dates currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby

VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown

as, CIV S-05-1661 FCD/GGH.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustment in the

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED:October 18, 2005

/s/ Frank C. Damrell Jr. 

FRANK C. DAMRELL JR.

United States District Judge
