On March 19, 2014, the parties in the above-captioned consolidated cases filed responses
4
to the Court’s March 12, 2014 Order asking the parties to address transfers of cases filed outside
5
this District and pending proceedings before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. (ECF
6
Nos. 31, 32.) The parties stated that of seven cases outside this District, four have been ordered
7
transferred to this District, while transfer has not been resolved in two of those cases. (ECF No.
8
23 at 3.) The motion for consolidation pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict
9
Litigation has not been resolved or withdrawn. (Id. at 4.)
10
Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that the cases that have been transferred to this
11
District (Nos. 5:14-CV-01167-LHK, 5:14-CV-01191-HRL, and 5:14-CV-01258-HRL) shall be
12
consolidated for pretrial proceedings. At the Case Management Conference scheduled for April
13
30, 2014, the parties shall be prepared to discuss whether consolidation of these cases for trial
14
would be appropriate. The parties shall promptly notify the Court of any other related cases that
15
have been transferred to this District and any further proceedings before the Judicial Panel on
16
Multidistrict Litigation.
17
IT IS SO ORDERED.
