IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

NATHANIEL WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-08-2192 FCD EFB P

vs.

CLAUDE E. FINN,

Respondent.

 /

NATHANIEL WILLIAMS,

Petitioner, No. CIV S-10-1630 JAM KJN P

vs.

ROBERT DOYLE,

Respondent. RELATED CASE ORDER

 /

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these cases are related within the

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same property, transaction or event and

similar questions of fact and the same question of law. Accordingly, 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 the 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 and

magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

Therefore, IT IS ORDERED that the action denominated as No. CIV S-10-1630 JAM

KJN P is reassigned to United States District Judge Frank C. Damrell, Jr. and Unites States

Magistrate Judge Edmund F. Brennan for all further proceedings.. Henceforth, the caption on

documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as No. CIV S-10-1630 FCD EFB P.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. 

DATED: July 20, 2010.
