This Court has considered the parties’ responses to this Court’s May 21, 2012 order to show

18

cause as to consolidation of this case with nine other similar cases. On the basis of good cause, this

19

Court declines to consolidate the cases for all purposes at this time but will issue orders to relate this

20

case with each of the nine other cases and to assign all the cases to U.S. District Judge Lawrence J.

21

O’Neill and U.S. Magistrate Judge Sheila K. Oberto. This Court refers to Judge Oberto coordination

22

of all pretrial proceedings in all the cases, and Judge Oberto will set a conference to do so. This Court

23

anticipates that Judge Oberto will address coordinated motion practice and discovery and designation

24

of this case as the lead for filings. This Court ORDERS the parties to withhold filing substantive

25

motions (including motions to dismiss) and seeking entry of default until after coordination of pretrial

26

proceedings is achieved or this Court orders otherwise.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated:
