RELATED CASE MINUTE ORDER signed by District Judge Noel Wise on 8/31/2026: Pursuant to Local Rule 123, the Court finds that Case No. 1:26-cv-4018-NW is related to Case No. 1:26-cv-6829-DC-CSK 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-6829-DC-CSK is REASSIGNED to U.S District Judge Noel Wise. District Judge Dena M. Coggins and Magistrate Judge Chi Soo Kim are no longer assigned to case. All future filings in 1:26-cv-6829-DC-CSK shall use the following Case Number: 1:26-cv-6829-NW. (TEXT ONLY ENTRY) (Deputy Clerk JJD) (Entered: 08/31/2026)
