LEON MORRIS,

Plaintiff,

v.

GUFFEE, et al.,

Defendants.

No. 2:13-cv-1171-TLN-KJN

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that they are related within the 

meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve the same parties, are based 

on the same claims, the same 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 affect a substantial savings of judicial 

effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties. 

 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 2:11-cv-1171-KJMDAD, 2:13-cv-1137-MCE-AC, and 2:13-cv-1171-TLN-KJN are hereby reassigned to District 

Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Dale A. Drozd for all further proceedings. Any dates 

currently set in the reassigned cases are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on 

documents filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown as: 2:11-cv-1171-TLN-DAD, 2:13-cv1137-TLN-DAD, and 2:13-cv-1171-TLN-DAD. 

 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustment 

in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment and issue an Order Requiring 

a Joint Status Report for the undersigned. 

Dated: March 16, 2015
