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 and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 

assigned. 

 As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:20-cv-00953-JAM-KJN is reassigned 

from District Judge John A. Mendez to the undersigned and from Magistrate Judge Kendall J. 

Newman to Magistrate Judge Deborah Barnes. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the 

reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:20-cv-00953-KJM-DB. 

 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: June 2, 2020.
