83-123, E.D. Cal. (1997). Plaintiffs are challenging the

validity of the same critical habitat areas and the adequacy of

the same economic analysis. 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 83-123 merely has the result that these actions

are assigned to the same judge and the same magistrate judge; no

consolidation of the actions is effected. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated

Civ. 2:04-0096 WBS KJM and Civ. 2:05-0629 LKK GGH should be, and

the same hereby are, reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB

and Magistrate Judge Kimberly J. Mueller for all further

proceedings. Henceforth the captions on all documents filed in

the reassigned cases shall be shown as Civ. S-04-0096 WBS KJM and

Civ. S-05-0629 WBS KJM, and any dates currently set in the

reassigned cases only are hereby VACATED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make

appropriate adjustments in the assignment of civil cases to

compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: July 19, 2006
