UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAI FOU SAECHAO,

Petitioner,

v.

GISELLE MATTESON,

Respondent.

No. 2:23-cv-00909-DC-SCR (HC)

ORDER RELATING AND REASSIGNING 

CASE

DAVID SAECHAO,

Petitioner,

v.

B. CATES,

Respondent.

No. 2:24-cv-02178-WBS-CSK (HC)

New Case No. 2:24-cv-02178-DC-SCR (HC)

An examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the 

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Accordingly, assignment of the above-captioned actions to the 

same district judge and magistrate judge will promote substantial efficiency and economy for the 

court and is likely to be convenient for the parties.

An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same 

district judge and magistrate judge—it does not consolidate the cases. The local rules of this

district authorize the judge with the lowest numbered case to order the reassignment of any higher 

numbered cases to himself or herself, upon determining that this assignment is likely to effect a 

savings of judicial effort. L.R. 123(c). Such good cause appearing here, the court orders that Case 

No. 2:24-cv-02178-WBS-CSK is reassigned to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge Sean C. 

Riordan. The caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: 2:24-cv02178-DC-SCR. It is further ordered that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in 

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
