An order relating cases under this court’s Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same 

district judge and magistrate judge—it does not consolidate the cases. The local rules of this 

district authorize the judge with the lowest numbered case to order the reassignment of any higher 

numbered cases to himself or herself, upon determining that this assignment is likely to effect a 

savings of judicial effort. L.R. 123(c). 

Such good cause appearing here, the court orders that the above-captioned action be 

reassigned to the undersigned and Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto and that it be related to 

G.P.P. Inc. d/b/a Guardian Innovative Solutions v. Guardian Protection Products, Inc., 1:15-cv00321-SKO. The documents in the above-captioned action shall bear the new case number 

reflected above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 18, 2021
