Defendants have filed a notice that this action is related to nine other actions filed with this

19

Court. Rather than relate the 10 cases under this Court’s Local Rule 123, this Court considers to

20

consolidate them and to require plaintiffs to file a single, combined complaint. As such, this Court

21

ORDERS the parties, no later than May 29, 2012, to file and serve papers to show cause why this Court

22

should not consolidate this as the lead case with the nine other actions and potential unfiled actions with

23

assignment to the same district and magistrate judges.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
