Case No. 2:15-CV-00429 MCE-DAD

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 action denominated 

2:15-CV-00429 MCE-DAD be reassigned to Judge John A. Mendez and 

Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan 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 cases shall be shown as 2:15-CV-00429 JAM-EFB. 

 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: March 6, 2015
