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 2:06-cv1237-WBS-KJM, Linda Saiyad v. Fidelity and Guaranty Life

Insurance Company, et al., is reassigned to Judge Morrison C.

England, Jr. and Peter A. Nowinski 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 2:06-cv1237-MCE-PAN.

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.
