Eastern District of California Local Rule 123(a) provides that

an action is related to another action when: 

(1) both actions involve the same parties and are

based on the same or a similar claim;

(2) both actions involve the same property,

transaction, or event;

(3) 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,

either because the same result should follow in

both actions or otherwise; or

(4) for any other reasons, it would entail

substantial duplication of labor if the actions

were heard by different Judges or Magistrate

Judges.

Local Rule 123(a) (2013). 

The court finds that South Yuba River Citizens League, et al.

v. National Marine Fisheries Service, et al., case no. 2:06-cv-2845

LKK-JFM is not sufficiently related to South Yuba River Citizens

League, et al. v. National Marine Fisheries Service, et al., Case

No. 2:13-cv-00059 MCE-EFB and Yuba County Water Agency v. National

Marine Fisheries Service, No. 2:13-cv-00042-MCE-CKD. Reassignment

of the two pending actions to the undersigned is not likely to

effect a savings of judicial effort or other economies. 

The court, therefore, DECLINES to relate the cases.

IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: March 7, 2013.
