JORGE ANDRADE RICO, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

JEFFREY BEARD, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:17-cv-1402 CKD P 

 Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these cases are related within the 

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same property, transaction or event and 

similar questions of fact and law. Accordingly, 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 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 actions denominated as Matthews v. Holland, Case 

No. 1:14-cv-1959 DAD SKO P, Murillo v. Holland, Case No. 1:15-cv-0266 LJO JLT P, and Rico 

v. Beard, Case No. 2:17-cv-1402 CKD are reassigned to the undersigned and to Magistrate Judge 

Deborah Barnes for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in the reassigned case 

only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned cases 

shall be shown as Matthews v. Holland, Case No. 1:14-cv-1959 KJM DB P, Murillo v. Holland, 

Case No. 1:15-cv-0266 KJM DB P, and Rico v. Beard, Case No. 2:17-cv-1402 KJM DB P. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in 

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. Any and all dates currently set
