50,

 Defendant.

CIV. NO. 2:14-2370 WBS DAD

CIV. NO. 2:14-2371 JAM AC

----oo0oo----

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 

123(a) because, although brought by different plaintiffs, the 

complaint in each case asserts substantially identical claims 

against the same defendant and involves substantially similar

factual and legal issues. 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 

Healthy Choice SGH, LLC v. ABP Corporation, No. 2:14-cv-02370-

WBS-DAD, and Healthy Choice SM, LLC v. ABP Corporation, No. 2:14-

cv-02371-JAM-AC, be, and the same hereby are, deemed related and 

the case denominated Healthy Choice SM, LLC v. ABP Corporation, 

No. 2:14-cv-02371-JAM-AC, shall be reassigned to the Honorable 

WILLIAM B. SHUBB and Magistrate Judge Dale Drozd. 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 Healthy Choice SM, LLC v. ABP Corporation, No. 

2:14-cv-02371-WBS-DAD.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court

make appropriated adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this reassignment.
