NOW THEREFORE IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, that the motion for
consolidation (docket no. 2) and motion for expedited consolidation (docket no. 3) filed
in FTC v St. Luke’s (CV-13-116-BLW) be GRANTED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that FTC v St. Luke’s (CV-13-116-BLW) be
consolidated with St. Al’s v. St. Luke’s (CV-12-560-BLW).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the lead case shall be St. Al’s v. St. Luke’s CV12-560-BLW, and that all pleadings and other documents shall be filed in that lead case.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the trial presently set for July 29, 2013, is
VACATED, and that trial shall be reset for September 16, 2013, at 9:00 a.m. in the
Federal Courthouse in Boise Idaho. The Court shall set aside three weeks for trial. After
the first day of trial, the trial days shall generally run from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. straight
through with only two breaks of about 15 minutes each.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that because the continuation of the trial will
require a new schedule of pre-trial deadlines, counsel are directed to meet together to
draft a new schedule and submit it to the Court for approval.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the telephone status conference now set for
April 2, 2013, is VACATED. This conference became unnecessary once the trial was
continued and given the fact that another conference is set for April 30, 2013, which shall
remain in place.
