Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that 

they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 83-123(a). 

Accordingly, the assignment of the actions to the same judge and

magistrate 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 results in the actions being 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 to whom the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that action 2:05-cv-02472-DFL-GGH

is reassigned to Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr., for all further

proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the

reassigned case shall show the docket number 2:05-cv-02472-GEB-GGH.

Further, the parties in the reassigned case are referred to the

attached Order Setting Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference. 

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: December 12, 2005
