Examination of the above-entitled actions reveals that
they are related within the meaning of Local Rule 123(a), because
they involve the same parties, are based on the same or similar
claims, address the same issues, and arise from the same events.
Accordingly, the assignment of the matters to the same judge is
likely to effect a saving 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 actions is
effected. Under the regular practice of this court, related
cases are generally assigned to the judge to whom the first filed
action was assigned.
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions denominated
Lopez v. County of San Joaquin et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-1792 WBS
CSK, and Lopez v. County of San Joaquin et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-
3564 DJC JDP, be, and the same hereby are, deemed related. The
case denominated Lopez v. County of San Joaquin et al., Case No.
2:25-cv-3564 DJC JDP, shall be reassigned to Judge WILLIAM B.
SHUBB and Judge CHI SOO KIM. Any dates currently set in the
reassigned case only are hereby VACATED. Henceforth, the
captions on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown
as Lopez v. County of San Joaquin et al., Case No. 2:25-cv-3564
WBS CSK.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make
an appropriate adjustment in the assignment of cases to
compensate for this reassignment.
