 Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within the 

meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Here, the “actions involve similar questions of fact and the same 

question of law and their assignment to the same Judge or Magistrate Judge is likely to effect a 

substantial savings of judicial effort.” Local Rule 123(a)(3). Accordingly, the assignment of 

these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is 

likely to be convenient for the parties. 

 The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions 

to be assigned to the same judge – it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related 

cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 

assigned. 

 As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that the following cases, No. 2:15-cv-00675-

MCE-DAD; No. 2:15-cv-00676-WBS-KJN; and No. 2:15-cv-00677-MCE-DAD, are reassigned 

to the undersigned and to Magistrate Judge Allison Claire. Henceforth, the caption on documents 

filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as: No. 2:15-cv-00675-KJM-AC; No. 2:15-cv-00676-

KJM-AC; and No. 2:15-cv-00677-KJM-AC. 

 It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in 

the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. 

 IT IS SO ORDERED. 

DATED: April 23, 2015.
