UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREN REYNOLDS AND DELMAR 

SCOTT REYNOLDS,

 Plaintiff,

 v.

BRISTOL-MEYERS SQUIBB CO., et al.,

 Defendants. 

OLD CASE NO: 2:16-cv-509-JAM-CMK

NEW CASE NO: 1:16-cv-357-LJO-BAM

ORDER RELATING AND REASSIGNING 

CASE

Review of the above-captioned action reveals that it is related under this Court’s Local Rule 123 

to Sears v. Bristol-Meyers Squibb Co., 1:16-cv-65-LJO-BAM. The actions involve the same or similar 

parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. In addition, the currently assigned 

district and magistrate judges have not engaged in this matter in any substantial way. Accordingly, 

assignment of the actions to the district judge and magistrate judge assigned to Sears will promote 

convenience, efficiency and economy for the Court and parties. An order relating cases under this 

Court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same district judge and magistrate judge, and no 

consolidation of cases is effected. On the basis of good cause, this Court ORDERS that the abovecaptioned action is reassigned to U.S. District Judge Lawrence J. O'Neill and U.S. Magistrate Judge 

Barbara A. McAuliffe. All documents shall bear the new case number: 

1:16-cv-357-LJO-BAM

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 15, 2016 /s/ Lawrence J. O’Neill
