ORDER OF CONSOLIDATION
______________________________________________________________________________

1

This matter is before the Court on the October 15, 2014 unopposed motion by Plaintiffs
to consolidate two related cases for trial. (ECF No. 236 in 12-cv-02664-RM-KLM) (the “Motion
for Consolidation”). Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a), this Court finds that both actions listed
below involve common questions of law or fact, including common parties and common claims,
before this Court. Further, the Court finds that consolidation of these two actions will avoid
unnecessary costs and delays and will promote judicial efficiency.
It is therefore ORDERED that the following actions are consolidated for all purposes, and
future filings in any of these actions shall contain the caption as set forth above and shall be
docketed under the case number 12-cv-0664-RM-KLM:
1. 12-cv-02664-RM-KLM and
2. 12-cv-02666-RM-KLM.
Dated this 11th day of December, 2014.
BY THE COURT:
