civil case for purposes of this guideline when, because of the similarity of facts and legal issues or because the cases arise from the same transactions or events, a substantial saving of
judicial resources is likely to result from assigning both cases to the same judge and magistrate judge.” Rule 3(a) provides that “ A civil case shall not be deemed “related” to another
civil case merely because the civil case involves identical legal issues, or the same parties.” Rule 3 further provides that
“Presumptively, and subject to the power of a judge to determine otherwise pursuant to paragraph (b), civil cases shall not be deemed to be “related” unless both cases are still pending
before the court.”
