UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

JAMES C. MAXEY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et 

al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:13-CV-2620-JAM-EFB PS

JAMES C. MAXEY, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:15-cv-1243-GEB-EFB PS 

RELATED CASE ORDER 

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that the actions are related within the 

meaning of E.D. Cal. Local Rule 123. The actions arise out of the same transaction or series of 

transactions, involve some of the same defendants, 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 Rules 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 action denominated 2:15-cv-1243-GEB-EFB PS 

be, and the same hereby is, reassigned to Judge John A. Mendez and the undersigned for all 

further proceedings. Henceforth the caption on all documents filed in the reassigned case shall be 

shown as 2:15-cv-1243-JAM-EFB PS. 

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

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. 

DATED: December 3, 2015.
