of Local Rule 123(a). Here, “both 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 to whom the first filed 

action was assigned. 

As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:24-cv-01944 is reassigned from 

Magistrate Judge Jeremy D. Peterson to Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim. Henceforth, 

the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:24-cv01944-DJC-CSK. As these matters are all currently assigned to the same District 

Judge, no further reassignment or alteration of the case caption is necessary.
