Local Rule 123(a)(E.D. Cal. 1984). The plaintiffs in

both cases seek damages from the same defendants

arising out of the same incident. 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 and magistrate to whom

the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action

denominated County of Sacramento v. Turbomeca, S.A., et

al., No. Civ. S-07-01398 LKK KJM be, and the same

hereby is, reassigned to Judge William B. Shubb and

Magistrate Dale A. Drozd 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 County of Sacramento v. Turbomeca, S.A., et al., No.

Civ. S-07-01398 WBS DAD

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the

Court make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of
