MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that this action 1:26-cv-04986-DAD-CKD is related to Case No. 2:26-cv-01304-JLT-SKO because both cases involve overlapping parties, properties, claims, events and/or questions of fact or law. Thus, the Court ORDERS that Case No. 1:26-cv-04986-DAD-CKD is reassigned to U.S District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston and SHALL be randomly assigned to one of the magistrate judges who succeeded to the habeas caseload of former Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto. All future filings shall reflect the judge reassignments signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on July 1, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 07/01/2026)

MINUTE ORDER (Text Only Entry) The Court has reviewed the filings in this case and in Montalvo Olivares v. Warden, 2:26-cv-01304-JLT-SKO. After reviewing the filings in each case, the Court finds that this case (1:26-cv-04986-JLT-HBK) involves the same petitioner, alleges similar facts, and requests identical relief as case no. 2:26-cv-01304-JLT-SKO. A court may dismiss one action as duplicative of another. See M.M. v. Lafayette Sch. Dist., 681 F.3d 1082, 1091 (9th Cir. 2012). Because this action is essentially identical to the earlier filed case, this case (1:26-cv-04986-JLT-HBK) is DISMISSED AS DUPLICATIVE. The Clerk of Court is directed to CLOSE this case and terminate any pending motions as moot signed by District Judge Jennifer L. Thurston on August 14, 2026. (Deputy Clerk IM) (Entered: 08/14/2026)
