Plaintiff Jane Doe #1 has filed a Notice of Related Cases in the first-filed action, 

Jane Doe #1 v. Marcus Johnson, et al., Case Number 2:24-cv-01542-DJC-AC-PC, 

regarding Jane Doe #2 v. Marcus Johnson, et al., Case Number 2:24-cv-01844-DADCSK. (See ECF No. 11.) Examination of these actions reveals that they are related 

within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, “both actions involve similar questions 

of fact and the same question of law and their assignment to the same Judge or 

Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort.” Local Rule 

123(a)(3). Accordingly, the assignment of these matters to the same judge is likely to 

effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the 

parties. 

The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the 

actions to be assigned to the same judge, it does not consolidate the actions. Under 

Rule 123, related cases are generally assigned to the judge to whom the first filed 

action was assigned. 

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:24-cv-01844 is reassigned from District 

Judge Dale A. Drozd and Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim to the undersigned and 

Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the 

reassigned case shall be shown as 2:24-cv-01844-DJC-AC. 

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: August 20, 2024 

 THE HONORABLE DANIEL J. CALABRETTA 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
