Opinion
RELATED CASE ORDER
LAWRENCE K. KARLTON, District Judge.
The court is in receipt of a notice from defendant-appellant CSSS, L.P. d/b/a Central Valley Shippers, that CSSS v. BMO (In re SK Foods), Civ. No. 2:13-cv-522-JAM, is related to Civ. Nos. 2:11-cv-2369-LK, 2:11-cv-2987-LKK (closed) and 2:10-cr-61-LKK (closed). Examination of these cases shows that they are related within the meaning of E.D. Cal. R. 123(c), pursuant to which, related cases are re-assigned to the judge with the lower numbered case.
CSSS also asserts that this case is related to 2:12-cv-669-LKK (closed), however, that case was dismissed before any substantive proceedings had occurred. Accordingly, it will be excluded from this Related Case Order.
Accordingly the court ORDERS as follows:
1. The case denominated Civ. No. 2:13-cv-522-JAM is REASSIGNED to Senior Judge Lawrence K. Karlton for all further proceedings. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as Civ. No. 2:13-cv-522-LKK.
2. The Clerk of the Court shall make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
