RELATED CASE ORDER
Troy L. Nunley United States District Judge
Examination of the above-captioned actions reveals they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a). The assignment of these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties.
Relating the cases under Local Rule 123, however, merely has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge, it does not consolidate the actions. 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. Should either party wish to consolidate the actions, the appropriate motion or stipulation must be filed.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 2:23-cv-01670-KJM-CKD and 2:23-cv-01672-DJC-KJN are reassigned to District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney, and the captions shall read 2:23-cv-01670-TLN-CKD, and 2:23-cv-01672-TLN-CKD. Any dates currently set in 2:23-cv-01670-KJM-CKD and 2:23-cv-01672-DJC-KJN are hereby VACATED. The Clerk of the Court is to issue the Initial Pretrial Scheduling Order.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
