JOHNSON, 19 Plaintiff, vs. 20 21 22 23 No. CIV S-11-1188 MCE-DAD JAMES C. KLEIN, Individually and as Co-Trustee of the Klein Family 2003 Revocable Trust, dated June 27, 2003; and YVONNE J. KLEIN, Individually and as Co-Trustee of the Klein Family 2003 Revocable Trust, dated June 27, 2003, Defendants. 24 RELATED CASE ORDER / 25 26 /// 1 1 Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals that they are related within 2 the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). Both actions involve the same parties and are based on a 3 similar claim. Accordingly, the assignment of these matters to the same judge is likely to effect 4 a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties. 5 The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the actions 6 to be assigned to the same judge – it does not consolidate the actions. Under Rule 123, related 7 cases are generally assigned to the judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was 8 assigned. 9 As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that CIV S-11-1188 MCE-DAD is reassigned 10 from Judge England to the undersigned. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the 11 reassigned case shall be shown as: CIV S-11-1188 KJM-DAD. 12 13 14 15 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. DATED: November 2, 2011. 16 17 UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 2
