ORDER CONTINUING HEARINGS ON
DEFENDANTS EQUIFAX, INC. AND
BANK OF AMERICA N.A.’S MOTIONS
TO DISMISS
Re: Dkt. No. 34

Before the Court are seven motions to dismiss: (1) defendant Equifax, Inc.’s

27

(“Equifax”) motion in Case No. 16-5687, filed December 19, 2016, and noticed for

28

hearing on January 27, 2017; (2) defendant Credit One Bank, National Association’s

1

motion in Case No. 16-5687, filed January 13, 2017, and noticed for hearing on March 7,

2

2017; (3) defendant Wells Fargo Bank, National Association’s motion in Case No. 16-

3

5693, filed December 19, 2016, and noticed for hearing on January 27, 2017; (4)

4

Equifax’s motion in Case No. 16-5693, filed December 27, 2016, and noticed for hearing

5

on February 3, 2017; (5) Equifax’s motion in Case No. 16-6347, filed December 27, 2016,

6

and noticed for hearing on February 3, 2017; (6) Equifax’s motion in Case No. 16-6338,

7

filed January 11, 2017, and noticed for hearing on February 24, 2017; and (7) defendant

8

Bank of America, National Association’s motion in Case No. 16-6338, filed January 20,

9

2017, and noticed for hearing on February 24, 2017.

10

Also before the Court is defendants Experian Information Solutions, Inc.

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

(“Experian”) and Equifax’s “Motion to Consolidate,” filed December 22, 2016, in each of

12

the above-referenced four cases and noticed for hearing on February 17, 2017, a date

13

subsequent to the dates on which four of the motions to dismiss are noticed to be heard.

14

In the motion to consolidate, Experian and Equifax argue the above-titled cases

15

should be consolidated with each other, and with a number of cases pending before other

16

judges, for the asserted reason that all said cases present common questions of law

17

pertaining to how a debt should be reported after a debtor has filed for protection under

18

the Bankruptcy Act and the bankruptcy court has confirmed a reorganization plan. In

19

each of the above-referenced motions to dismiss, the moving defendant seeks a ruling on

20

the above-referenced issue.

21

Under such circumstances, the Court finds it preferable to consider the motions to

22

dismiss after the motion for consolidation has been resolved, and, in the interests of

23

judicial economy, to hold a hearing on all seven motions to dismiss on one date.

24

27

Accordingly, the Court hereby CONTINUES the hearings on the above-referenced
seven motions to dismiss to April 7, 2017, at 9:00 a.m.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Dated: January 20, 2017
