The actions involve many of the same defendants and are based on

the same or similar claims, the same property transaction or

event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law,

and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if

heard by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the

matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial

savings 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 83-123 merely has the result that both actions are

assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the action is

effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related

cases are generally assigned to the district judge and magistrate

judge to whom the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated CIV-S05-0784 GEB/JFM, JAMES HALL AND LYDIA HALL v. COUNTY OF SHASTA is

reassigned to Judge Morrison C. England, Jr. and Kimberly J.

Mueller for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set

in this reassigned case only is hereby VACATED. The parties are

referred to the attached Order Requiring Joint Status Report. 

Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case

shall be shown as CIV-S-05-0784 MCE/KJM.
