the parties.

The parties should be aware that relating the cases

under Local Rule 83-123 merely has the result that these actions

are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the actions

is effected. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated

Civ. S-06-0049 LKK-JFM be, and the same hereby is, reassigned to

WILLIAM B. SHUBB for all further proceedings. Henceforth the

captions on all documents filed in the reassigned case shall be

shown as Civ. S-06-0049 WBS-DAD, and any dates currently set in

the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED, and the United

States Attorney shall see that the reassigned cases are placed on

a regularly scheduled criminal calendar of the undersigned judge

for status conference. 

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.
