UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

 Plaintiff and 

 Judgement Creditor,

v.

JOSEPH RAYMOND GEORGE,

Defendant and

Judgment Debtor.

NO. 2:15-MC-00130 TLN DAD

----oo0oo----

Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that

the two creditor actions are related to the criminal case within 

the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) because all three cases involve 

the same parties and the creditor actions seek to enforce the 

criminal restitution order imposed against the defendant in the 

criminal case. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the 

same judge is likely to effect a substantial saving 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 both actions are 

assigned to the same district judge; no consolidation of the 

actions is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, 

related cases are generally assigned to the district and 

magistrate judges to whom the first filed action was assigned. 

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 

United States v. George, No. 2:02-CR-00325 WBS, United States v. 

George, 2:15-MC-00128 MCE EFB, and United States v. George, 2:15-

MC-00130 TLN DAD be, and the same hereby are, deemed related.

The case denominated United States v. George, 2:15-MC-00128 MCE 

EFB shall be reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB. The 

case denominated United States v. George, 2:15-MC-00130 TLN DAD

shall be reassigned to the Honorable WILLIAM B. SHUBB and 

Magistrate Judge Edmund Brennan. Although the creditor actions 

are reassigned to the undersigned district judge, it is 

anticipated that the magistrate judge will handle the 

Applications for Examination of a Third Party and Production of 

Documents in accordance with Local Rule 302(c)(11). 

Any dates currently set in the reassigned cases only 

are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the captions on documents filed 

in the reassigned cases shall be shown as United States v. 

George, 2:15-MC-00128 WBS EFB and United States v. George, 2:15-

MC-00130 WBS EFB.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court

make appropriated adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to 

compensate for this reassignment.

Dated: November 2, 2015
