IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
RICHARD MCMANUS,
Plaintiff,
v.
STURM FOODS, INC. and
TREEHOUSE FOODS, INC.,
Defendants.

No. 11-CV-889-DRH
ORDER

HERNDON, Chief Judge:
Now before the Court is defendants’ joint unopposed motion to
consolidation (Doc. 25). Defendants move to consolidate Suchanek v. Sturm Foods,
Inc., case number 11-cv-565, and this case because consolidation of these two cases
will prevent unnecessary duplication of effort and will conserve the resources of the
Court and the parties. Counsel for the parties in both cases agree that these cases
should be consolidated. The Court agrees. Accordingly, the Court grants the motion
and consolidates these cases. All further pleadings shall bear case number 11-cv565.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
Signed this 28th day of October, 2011.

Herndon
