*** ORDER DENYING STIPUATION *** Upon consideration, the Court DENIES the parties' Stipulation because the parties have failed to provide sufficient information for the Court to consider whether consolidation of a 2006 case with a 2008 case is appropriate. The parties have failed to provide comprehensive details as to the state of each case and whether consolidation is for all purposes. Further, the Court would wish to know whether consolidation would further delay the 2006 case which has now been pending almost three years. The Parker case is currently set for a Case Management Conference for June 1, 2009 at 10 a.m. The Court sets a Case Management Conference for the Dower case on the same day to discuss the parties' desire to have these cases consolidated. On or before May 22, 2009, the parties shall file a Joint Statement re: Consolidation and provide their positions with respect to the issues raised by the Court above.

Dated: April 10, 2009
