JOAN M. POLITTE,
Plaintiff,
v.
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
Defendant.

ORDER OF C0NSOLIDATION

THIS MATTER is before the Court in connection with the Order to Show Cause
issued on November 7, 2013, in this case, Joan M. Politte v. United States of America,
Civil Action No. 13-cv-02591-WYD-MJW, and in the related case of Robert A. Politte v.
United States of America, Civil Action No. 13-cv-02592-WYD-KLM. The Order to Show
notes that as the cases involve common questions of law and fact, consolidation of the
cases may be appropriate under Fed. R. Civ. P.42(a). It then directs the parties to show
cause on or before November 18, 2013, as to why the two cases should not be
consolidated.
The Order to Show Cause states that if the parties do not respond to the Order,
an Order of Consolidation shall be issued without further notice. Neither party
responded to the Order to Show Cause. Accordingly, I find that the two cases should
be consolidated. It is therefore

ORDERED that this case, Joan M. Politte v. United States of America, Civil
Action No. 13-cv-02591-WYD-MJW, and Robert A. Politte v. United States of America,
Civil Action No. 13-cv-02592-WYD-KLM are consolidated for all further purposes. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that as of the date of this Order, all pleadings and other
filings shall be filed in Civil Action No. 13-cv-02591-WYD-MJW, using the caption
appearing in this Order. It is
FURTHER ORDERED that Civil Action No. 13-cv-02592 shall hereafter be
referred to the magistrate judge assigned to the lowest case, in this case Magistrate
Judge Watanabe. Finally, it is
ORDERED that the clerk of court shall docket this Order in Robert A. Politte v.
United States of America, Civil Action No. 13-cv-02592-WYD-KLM.
Dated: December 13, 2013
