The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 83-123 merely has

the result that actions are 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 the action denominated CIV. NO. S-04-2377 LKK

KJM be, and the same hereby is, reassigned to Judge James K. Singleton and Magistrate Judge

Edmund F. Brennan for all further proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in

the reassigned case shall be shown as CIV. NO. S-04-2377 JKS EFB 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.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: February 14, 2008.
