RELATED CASE ORDER 
 
Defendants have filed a notice of related cases in both of the above-captioned 
actions. Examination of these actions reveals that they are related within the meaning 
of Local Rule 123(a). Both actions involve the common parties, are based on the same 
or a similar claim, and raise similar questions of fact and law. See Local Rule 123(a)(1),

(3). Accordingly, the assignment of these matters to the same judge is likely to effect a 
substantial savings of judicial effort and is likely to be convenient for the parties. 
The parties should be aware that relating cases under Rule 123 causes the 
actions to be assigned to the same judge; it does not consolidate the actions. Under 
Rule 123, related cases are generally assigned to the judge to whom the first filed 
action was assigned. 
As a result, it is hereby ORDERED that 2:26-cv-01552 is reassigned from 
Magistrate Judge Carolyn K. Delaney to the Magistrate Judge Stanley A. Boone. 
Henceforth, the caption on documents filed in the reassigned case shall be shown as 
2:26-cv-01552-DJC-SAB. As the parties in 1:26-cv-02285 have consented to proceed 
before a Magistrate Judge, no reassignment of the district judge is necessary. 
It is further ORDERED that the Clerk of the Court make appropriate adjustment 
in the assignment of civil cases to compensate for this reassignment. 
 
IT IS SO ORDERED. 
 
Dated: June 10, 2026
