Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 

123(a) because the actions involve the same three defendants and 

similar claims. Accordingly, the 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 both 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 

Gilliam v. City of West Sacramento, Civ. No. 2:13-2276 WBS AC, 

and Wilson v. City of West Sacramento, Civ. No. 2:13-2550 KJM 

EFB, be, and the same hereby are, deemed related and the case 

denominated Wilson v. City of West Sacramento, Civ. No. 2:13-2550 

KJM EFB, shall be reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB 

and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Any dates currently set in 

the reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the 

caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown 

as Wilson v. City of West Sacramento, Civ. No. 2:13-2550 WBS AC. 

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court
