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 the 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. 

 Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the action denominated as No. 2:13-cv-0809 KJN P is 

reassigned to District Judge Kimberly J. Mueller and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire for all 

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

shown as No. 2:13-cv-0809 KJM AC P and any and all dates currently set before the Honorable 

Kendall J. Newman only are hereby vacated. 

 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: January 24, 2014.
