RELATED CASE MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Vince Chhabria on 10/16/2026: Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that Case No. 1:26-cv-08377-DAD-CKD is related to Case No. 1:26-cv-05069-VC (HC) because both cases involve overlapping parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Accordingly, assignment of the actions to the same district judge will promote convenience, efficiency, and economy for the Court and parties. Thus, the Court ORDERS that Case No. 1:26-cv-08377-DAD-CKD is reassigned to U.S District Judge Vince Chhabria. All future filings in 1:26-cv-08377-DAD-CKD shall use the following Case Number: 1:26-cv-08377-VC. (Text Only Entry) (Deputy Clerk JJD) (Entered: 10/16/2026)
