Case No. 2:14-CV-02116 TLN-AC 

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that these 

actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123 (E.D. Cal. 

2005). Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge 

and magistrate judge is likely to affect 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 123 merely has the result that these actions are 

assigned to the same judge and magistrate judge; no consolidation 

of the actions is effected. 

 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:14-CV02116 TLN-AC be reassigned to Judge John A. Mendez and Magistrate 

Dale A. Drozd for all further proceedings. Henceforth, the caption 

on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:14-

CV-02116 JAM-DAD. 

 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.
