of Local Rule 123(a). Here, “both actions involve similar questions of fact and the 

same question of law and their assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is 

likely to effect a 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned.

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that:

• 2:23-cv-02577-DAD-CKD is reassigned from District Judge Dale A. 

Drozd and Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney to the undersigned and 

Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on documents 

filed in that reassigned case shall be shown as 2:23-cv-02577-DJC-AC.

• 2:23-cv-02569-DAD-JDP is reassigned from District Judge Dale A. Drozd 

and Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson to the undersigned and 

Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on documents 

filed in that reassigned case shall be shown as 2:23-cv-02569-DJC-AC.

• 2:23-cv-02491-TLN-CKD is reassigned from District Judge Troy L. Nunley 

and Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney to the undersigned and 

Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on documents 

filed in that reassigned case shall be shown as 2:23-cv-02491-DJC-AC.

• 1:23-cv-01524-JLT-CDB is reassigned from District Judge Jennifer L. 

Thurston and Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker to the undersigned 

and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on 

documents filed in that reassigned case shall be shown as 1:23-cv01524-JLT-AC.

• 2:23-cv-02518-DJC-CKD is reassigned from Magistrate Judge Carolyn K.

Delaney to Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on 

documents filed in that reassigned case shall be shown as 1:23-cv02518-DJC-CKD.

As the remaining case, 2:23-cv-02565-DJC-AC, is already assigned to the 

undersigned and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire, no reassignment of that case is 

necessary.

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.
