Opinion


REY CARTAS VELASQUEZ, ET AL., Plaintiffs, v. MOHAMMED KHAN, AKA MOHAMMED NAWAZ KHAN, DBA KHAN LABOR CONTRACTOR, ET AL., Defendants. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. MOHAMMAD NAWAZ KHAN, ET AL., Defendants. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. RYAN HERBERT SMITH, ET AL., Defendants. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. JIT KAUR, ET AL. Defendants. UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Plaintiff, v. GURCHET SANDHU, ET AL. Defendants. Nos. 2:01-cv-00246-MCE-DAD, 2:12-cr-00180-MCE, 2:12-cr-00300-MCE, 2:13-cr-00006-MCE United States District Court, E.D. California. December 17, 2013

          RELATED CASE ORDER

          MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.

         The Court has received the Notice of Related Case filed on December 5, 2013.

         Examination of the above-entitled civil and criminal actions reveals that these actions are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a) (E.D. Cal. 1997). The actions involve many of the same defendants and are based on the same or similar claims, the same property transaction or event, similar questions of fact and the same questions of law, and would therefore entail a substantial duplication of labor if heard by different judges. Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is likely to effect a substantial savings of judicial effort and is also likely to be convenient for the parties.

         The parties should be aware that relating the cases under Local Rule 123 merely has the result that both actions are assigned to the same judge; no consolidation of the action is effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related cases are generally assigned to the district judge and magistrate judge to whom the first filed action was assigned.

         IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated 2:13-cr-00275-GEB, United States of America v. Gurchet Sandhu, et al., is reassigned to Chief Judge Morrison C. England, Jr., for all further proceedings, and any dates currently set in this reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned cases shall be shown as 2:13-cr-00275-MCE.

         IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment in the assignment of criminal cases to compensate for this reassignment.

         IT IS SO ORDERED.
