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 property transaction or 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 actions denominated, 2:07-cv-1069 LKK JFM 

is reassigned to Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. and Magistrate Judge Kimberly J. Mueller for all

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

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

as: 2:07-cv-1069 FCD KJM.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court issue an Order Requiring a Joint

Status Report for the undersigned. 

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

assignment of civil/criminal cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 28, 2007
