APPELLANT

RENEE WILLIAMS, Living Hope Southwest
Medical Services, Svcs, LLC, Trustee; and
MICHAEL E. COLLINS, Living Hope Southeast,

APPELLEES

ORDER
Appellant James J. Naples has filed notice (Dkt. No. 3) that this case is related to case
number 4:13-cv-00499-DPM and 4:13-cv-00547-DPM, both of which are pending before Judge
D.P. Marshall.

Mr. Naples requests that this case be transferred to Judge Marshall and

consolidated with the two cited cases. Appellee Nancy J. Gargula, United States Trustee for
Region 13 (the “U.S. Trustee”), filed a response (Dkt. No. 10). The U.S. Trustee does not
oppose transferring the case to Judge Marshall but does oppose consolidating this case with the
two cited cases. Therefore, pursuant to General Order 39, the clerk’s office is directed to
reassign this case to Judge Marshall. The Court directs, however, that Mr. Naples’s motion not
be termed so that Judge Marshall may consider his request to consolidate.
SO ORDERED this 10th day of December, 2013.
