UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

RAYMOND M. DOUGLAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

RATH, Sacramento Police Officer – Badge 

number 610,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-02952-TLN-AC

ORDER RELATING CASES

RAYMOND M. DOUGLAS,

Plaintiff,

v.

HUFFMAN, Sacramento County Sheriff’s 

Deputy – Badge number 458,

Defendant.

No. 2:16-cv-02953-KJM-GGH

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

of Local Rule 123(a). The actions involve the same underlying event, the same questions of fact

and similar 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 

affect a substantial savings of judicial effort.

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. No consolidation of the actions is 

affected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally assigned to the judge 

and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the action denominated 2:16-cv-02953-KJM-GGH

is hereby reassigned to District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Allison Claire for all 

further proceedings. 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: 2:16-cv02953-TLN-AC.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court make appropriate adjustments in the 

assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.

Dated: December 28, 2016
