1: 12-CV-00633-AWI-JLT
ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY THIS MATTER
SHOULD NOT BE CONSOLIDATED

17
18

Plaintiff is involved in a second action, Jones v. United Steelworkers, Case. No. 1:12-cv-1463-

19

AWI-JLT, which appears to involve the same events as this matter and seems to involve overlapping

20

questions of fact. At this time, it is unclear whether the Plaintiffs have different principals in their

21

corporate structure or there are other reasons that preclude consolidation or relation.

22

Therefore, the Court ORDERS the parties to show cause in writing, no later than August 2,

23

2013, why the matters should not be consolidated with Jones v. United Steelworkers, Case. No. 1:12-

24

cv-1463-AWI-JLT, for all purposes, including discovery and trial.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
