MINUTE ORDER issued by Courtroom Deputy for District Judge Daniel J. Calabretta on 10/20/2026: This case has been initiated by the same Petitioner who initiated a prior action, Case No. 1:26-cv-01246-TLN-CSK (HC), related to Petitioner's present immigration custody status. Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that this action is related to the prior action 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 and Magistrate Judge who were assigned to the consolidated action will promote convenience, efficiency, and economy for the Court and parties. Thus, the Court ORDERS that this case is reassigned to Chief District Judge Troy L. Nunley and Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim. All future filings shall use the following Case Number: 1:26-cv-08513-TLN-CSK (HC). (cc: DJC, AC) [TEXT ONLY ENTRY] (Deputy Clerk GJM) (Entered: 10/20/2026)
