1

The parties to the above captioned matters, through their counsel of record,

2

hereby enter this Stipulation requesting the Court to consolidate the three appellate

3

matters that are the subject of this Stipulation in order to permit the filing of a single

4

Opening, Opposition and Reply Memorandum in the prosecution of these appeals.

5

The basis for this stipulation is that all three appeals address a single issue – the

6
7

propriety of the Bankruptcy Court’s Order sanctioning Appellant and awarding attorney’s

8

fees to the Appellee. The Bankruptcy Court issued a single Order, and entered a single

9

Judgment, applicable to the three matters now appealed in the aggregate. Thus the

10

issues on appeal can be addressed by a single set of briefs and a single Excerpt of

11

Record and from each side of the controversy thereby avoiding unnecessary duplication

12

and saving the time and effort of both the litigants and the Court.
