UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

TINA WILLIAMS,

v.

JIM HARRIS,

Movant.

TINA WILLIAMS,

No. 2:06-mc-0125-MCE-EFB

RELATED CASE ORDER

No. 2:06-mc-0126-DFL-KJM

Examination of the above-entitled miscellaneous civil

actions reveals that these actions are related within the meaning

of Local Rule 83-123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve

many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar

claims, the same property transaction or event, similar 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 effect a substantial savings 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 83-123 merely has the result that both actions are

assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the action is

effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related

cases are generally assigned to the district judge and magistrate

judge to whom the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 

2:06-mc-0126-DFL-KJM, Tina Williams v. Jim Harris is reassigned

to Judge Morrison C. England, Jr., and Magistrate Judge Edward F.

Brennan for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set

in this reassigned case only is hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the

caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown

as 2:06-mc-0126-MCE-EFB.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of miscellaneous civil

cases to compensate for this reassignment. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: December 21, 2006
