The court previously related Kline v. Mentor Worldwide, 

LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-877 WBS KJN, and Kline v. Mentor Worldwide, 

LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2387, because both cases involve removal of 

the same case from state court. Similarly, the court finds that 

Nichols v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2391 JAM KJN,

and Vanskaik v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2392 TLN 

CKD, are also related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) to 

Kline, Case No. 2:19-cv-877 WBS KJN, and Kline, Case No. 2:19-cv2387 WBS KJN, because Nichols and Vanskaik also involve removal 

of the same case from state court. Accordingly, the assignment

of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a 

substantial saving 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 all actions are 

assigned to the same 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 actions denominated

Kline v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, No. 2:19-cv-877 WBS KJN; Kline v. 

Mentor Worldwide, LLC, No. 2:19-cv-2387 WBS KJN; Nichols v. 

Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2391 JAM KJN; and 

Vanskaik v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2392 TLN CKD,

be, and the same hereby are, deemed related. The cases

denominated Nichols v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv2391 JAM KJN, and Vanskaik v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 

2:19-cv-2392 TLN CKD, shall be reassigned to the Honorable 

WILLIAM B. SHUBB. Any dates currently set in the reassigned 

cases only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the captions on 

documents filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown as Nichols 

v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2391 WBS KJN, and 

Vanskaik v. Mentor Worldwide, LLC, Case No. 2:19-cv-2392 WBS KJN, 

respectively. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

an appropriate adjustment in the assignment of cases to 

compensate for this reassignment.
