to Northern District Civil Local Rule 3-12(a), but not consolidated. Hereafter, separate filings in each
9 related case are appropriate. The Court vacates the consolidation order dated April 14, 2016 and reopens
10 cases nos. 16-CV-1427 JSW, 16-CV-1428 JSW, 16-CV-1429 JSW and 16-CV-1510 JSW. These matters
are STAYED pursuant to the parties' stipulation.
