Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule

123(a) because they involve the same parties and similar claims. 

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is 

likely to effect a substantial saving 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 123 merely has the result that both 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated

PLATTE RIVER INSURANCE COMPANY v. PREMIER POWER RENEWABLE ENERGY,

et al, Civ. No. 2:14-1666 WBS EFB, and PLATTE RIVER INSURANCE 

COMPANY V. DEAN RICHARD MARKS, et al, Civ. No. 2:15-1747 JAM DAD,

be, and the same hereby are, deemed related and the case 

denominated PLATTE RIVER INSURANCE COMPANY V. DEAN RICHARD MARKS, 

et al, Civ. No. 2:15-1747 JAM DAD, shall be assigned to Senior 

District Judge William B. Shubb and Magistrate Judge Edmund F.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this assignment.
