ORDER RELATING CASES
AND REASSIGNING
DISTRICT JUDGE AND MAGISTRATE JUDGE
Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that the above-captioned action is related to the following matter: Hyphy Music, Inc. v. Tapia Sena, et al., 1:21-cv-216-JLT-HBK. The actions involve overlapping parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Both actions require a determination of fact as to Gloria Posadas' rights (as transferred to Tapia) and Rios' rights (as transferred to Hyphy). (Doc. 51 at 4.) Accordingly, assignment of the actions to the same district judge and magistrate judge will promote convenience, efficiency, and economy for the Court and the parties. An order relating cases under the Court's Local Rule 123 merely assigns them to the same district judge and magistrate judge, and no consolidation of cases is affected.
Based on good cause, this Court ORDERS that the above-captioned action be reassigned to U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston and to U.S. Magistrate Judge Helena M. Barch-Kuchta. Going forward, all documents shall bear the new case number:
1:23-cv-00700-JLT-HBK
IT IS SO ORDERED.
