The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure provide: "When actions involving a common question of law or fact are pending before the court, it may order a joint hearing or trial of any or all the matters in issue in the actions; it may order all actions consolidated; and it may make such orders concerning proceedings therein as may tend to avoid unnecessary costs or delay."

Civil Action No. 08-0704-CG-N and Civil Action No. 09-0432-WS-M should be and hereby are CONSOLIDATED. Such consolidation shall not preclude entry of a new scheduling order in the consolidated matter. 2.

Therefore, the clerk is DIRECTED to submit a form JS-6 to the Administrative Office which indicates that such file is statistically closed and thus removed from the pending docket of this court.
