Pending before this Court are two civil actions, C 06-1407 and C 06-1730. These cases involve the same issue of law and fact and requesting conflicting relief. The Court orders the cases consolidated. All future papers shall be filed in C 06-1407, the earlier filed case. The Clerk shall close case No. C 06-1730. In all future filings, the caption shall be read: "In re County of Monterey Initiative Matter." A hearing for motions on Preliminary Injunction in the consolidated cases is set for March 21, 2006 at 10 a.m. The consolidated actions raise a question of law for decision by the Court sitting without a jury. It appears that a ruling on the motions for a preliminary injunction would resolve the cases on the merits. Therefore, pursuant to Rule 65(a)(2), a trial of the actions on the merits is advanced and consolidated with the hearing of the two motions for a preliminary injunctions.
