involve the same transaction. 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 

Plane Exchange v. Francois, Civ. No. 2:14-784 WBS KJN, and 

Francois v. Vincent, Civ. No. 2:14-1517 KJM AC, be, and the same 

hereby are, deemed related and the case denominated Francois v. 

Vincent, Civ. No. 2:14-1517 KJM AC, shall be reassigned to the 

Honorable William B. Shubb and Magistrate Judge Kendall J. 

Newman. All 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 Francois v. Vincent, Civ. 

No. 2:14-1517 WBS KJN. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make 

appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this reassignment.
