Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 

123(a) because both actions involve similar parties and the same 

or similar facts, disputes, and questions of law and fact. 

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 both 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 

National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry v. 

California State Grange, 2:14-00676 WBS DAD, and The National 

Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry v. California State 

Grange et al., No. 2:16-00201 TLN AC, be, and the same hereby 

are, deemed related and the case denominated The National Grange 

of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry v. California State Grange 

et al., No. 2:16-00201 TLN AC, shall be reassigned to the 

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

reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption 

on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as The 

National Grange of the Order of Patrons of Husbandry v. 

California State Grange et al., No. 2:16-00201 WBS AC(TEMP).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court

make appropriated adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to
