Case No. 2:15-CV-01178 JAM-CKD

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these 

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal. 

2005). Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same 

judge and magistrate judge is likely to affect 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 123 merely has the result that these actions are 

assigned to the same judge and magistrate 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 Magistrate Judge assignment 

in the action denominated 2:15-CV-01178 JAM-CKD be reassigned to 

Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all further proceedings. 

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case 

shall be shown as 2:15-CV-01178 JAM-EFB. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED.
