pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a). See also Dkt. No. 9 ¶ 9 (the parties agree to consolidation of the

first four filed cases). Case No. 15-cv-3935-JD will be the lead case in which all future filings
23
should be made.

1. Appellant will file a single, consolidated opening brief on appeal of not more than 25
26
pages by February 3, 2016.

2. Appellees will jointly file a single opposition brief, no longer than 25 pages, by March

that require the Court’s attention, it may file a supplemental brief of up to 6 pages by

March 2, 2016. A supplemental brief may not address issues duplicative of the joint
