22 Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that
23 they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 83-123(a).
24 Accordingly, the assignment of the actions to the same judge and
25 magistrate judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of
26 judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the
27 parties.

1 The parties should be aware that relating the cases under

2 Local Rule 83-123 merely results in the actions being assigned to
3 the same judge; no consolidation of the actions is effected. Under
4 the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally
5 assigned to the judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.
6 IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that action 2:05-cv-02472-DFL-GGH
7 is reassigned to Judge Garland E. Burrell, Jr., for all further
8 proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the
9 reassigned case shall show the docket number 2:05-cv-02472-GEB-GGH.
10 Further, the parties in the reassigned case are referred to the
11 attached Order Setting Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference.
12 IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make
13 appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to
14 compensate for this reassignment.
15 IT IS SO ORDERED.
