Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a), because 

they involve the same parties and counsel and both involve 

plaintiff Harper’s employment with defendants. 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 judge to 

whom the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 

Harper v. Charter Communications, LLC, 2:19-cv-902 WBS DMC, and 

Harper v. Charter Communications, LLC, 2:19-cv-1749 TLN DMC, be, 

and the same hereby are, deemed related. The case denominated 

Harper v. Charter Communications, LLC, 2:19-cv-1749 TLN DMC shall 

be reassigned to the Honorable William B. Shubb. Any dates 

currently set in the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. 

Henceforth, the captions on documents filed in the reassigned 

case shall be shown as Harper v. Charter Communications, LLC, 

2:19-cv-1749 WBS DMC.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

an appropriate adjustment in the assignment of cases to 

compensate for this reassignment.
