UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

RAYMOND M. DOUGLAS, 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

CITY OF SACRAMENTO, ET AL., 

Defendant. 

No. 2:16-CV-00375-MCE-AC 

No. 2:16-CV-00415-TLN-GGH 

RELATED CASE ORDER 

Examination of the above-entitled civil actions reveals that these actions are 

related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve 

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same 

property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law, 

and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges. 

Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same 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 123 merely 

has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the 

action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally 

assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 

assigned.
