claims. Accordingly, the assignment of the actions to the same

judge and magistrate judge is likely to effect a substantial

savings 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 83-123 merely results in the actions being assigned to

the same judge and magistrate 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. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that action 2:07-cv-1673-WBS-KJM

is reassigned to Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr., and Magistrate

Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all further proceedings. Henceforth,

the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall show

the initials “GEB-EFB” instead of the other judges’ initials. 

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: December 21, 2007
