Defendant’s re-removal, it was assigned a new

docket number, 2-10-CV-01788-MCE-DAD. It is the

same lawsuit, contains the same claims, involves

the identical parties and has now been subject to

removal, remand, appeal (pending) and re-removal

into the current action.

(Doc. No. 25, 1:27-2:6.)

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that they

are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123. Therefore, action

2:10-cv-01788-MCE-DAD is reassigned to Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr.,

and Magistrate Judge Kimberly J. Mueller for all further proceedings,

and any dates currently set in the reassigned case are VACATED. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the caption on documents filed in

the reassigned case shall show the initials “GEB-KJM” instead of the

other judges’ initials. The Clerk shall make an appropriate adjustment

in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment and

shall issue Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr.'s Order Setting Status

(Pretrial Scheduling) Conference in 2:10-cv-01788-GEB-KJM setting a

status conference.

Dated: August 19, 2010
