RELATED CASE ORDER
The court is in receipt of a notice that the above-captioned case is related to the previously related cases 2:11-cv-2369 LKK, 2:11-cv-2987 LKK and 2:10-cr-61 LKK. The notice was filed by Cary Scott Collins, a defendant in the underlying case, Bank of Montreal v. Collins, Bankr. Adv. Proc. No. 11-2340 (Bankr. E.D. Cal.), who has moved to withdraw the reference of the underlying case from the Bankruptcy Court, and to proceed with the matter in this court.
Examination of these cases shows that they appear to be related. Related cases are generally assigned to the judge presiding over the case with the lowest number. See E.D. Cal. R. 123(c). Accordingly the court ORDERS as follows:
1. The action denominated 2:13-cv-237 JAM is REASSIGNED to Senior Judge Lawrence K. Karlton for all further proceedings.
2. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 2:13-cv-237 LKK.
3. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
