UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STEVEN BANKS,

 Plaintiff,

v.

PAM AHLIN,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:15-cv-00605-DLB (PC)

New Case No. 1:15-cv-00605-MJS (PC)

ORDER RELATING CASES AND 

REASSIGNING ACTION TO 

MAGISTRATE JUDGE MICHAEL J. SENG

On March 5, 2015, Plaintiff filed this Civil Rights Complaint pursuant to 42 U.S.C. 

section 1983 challenging Defendant’s mental health assessment under California’s 

Sexually Violent Predator Act. (ECF No. 1.)

A number of similar actions have been filed in or transferred to this Court. The 

Court’s review of these cases reveals that the instant action is related under Local Rule 

123 to the action entitled Klein v. King, 1:14-cv-01440-MJS. Both actions are based on 

the same underlying facts and involve overlapping questions of law and fact. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The Office of the Clerk shall relate this case with case 1:14-cv-01440-MJS;

2. This case shall be assigned to the docket of Magistrate Judge Michael J. 

Seng;

Use of an incorrect case number or incorrect judge’s initials may result in 

delay in processing documents and distribution of copies to the judge 

assigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
