UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RALPH COLEMAN, et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

EDMUND G. BROWN, JR., et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 2:90-cv-0520 KJM DB P 

JASPER F. WILSON, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

JEFFREY BEARD, et al., 

Defendants. 

No. 1:15-cv-1424 DAD BAM (PC) 

ORDER

 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 action denominated as Wilson v. Beard, et al., Case 

No. 1:15-cv-1424 DAD BAM (PC), is 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 case 

shall be shown as Wilson v. Beard, Case No. 1:15-cv-1424 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 

before any judge to whom Wilson is currently assigned only are hereby vacated. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: October 23, 2018.
