IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Judge William J. Martínez
Civil Action No. 12-cv-2021-WJM-CBS
RONALD MUKASA MAITEKI,
Plaintiff,
v.
KNIGHT TRANSPORTATION INC.,
HIRE RIGHT INC.,
MARTEN TRANSPORT LTD, and
VOYAGER EXPRESS INC.,
Defendants,

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO SEVER AND OPENING NEW CASE

Before the Court is Plaintiff’s Unopposed Motion to Sever Case Against
HireRight Inc. from the Current Consolidated Action Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(b),
21 and 42(b). (ECF No. 207.) Plaintiff brings this motion because Defendant HireRight
Inc. (“HireRight”) recently filed for bankruptcy protection, thus staying all proceedings
against HireRight. (See ECF No. 201.) The two defendants not in bankruptcy, Marten
Transport Ltd. and Voyager Express, Inc., do not oppose this motion. HireRight has
filed no opposition and the time to file an opposition has passed.
Considering the age of this case, the Court ORDERS as follows:
1.

Current Consolidated Action Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(b), 21 and 42(b)
