MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
Judge Urbom’s case (4:09CV3145) was previously consolidated for discovery purposes with
the other cases described above that are assigned to me. Now that the Court of Appeals has ruled
regarding questions of qualified immunity, and these five cases are becoming ready for trial, it is
time to for Judge Urbom and Judge Zwart to take control of the further progression of his case and
for Judge Zwart and me to take control of the further progression of my cases.1
IT IS ORDERED that White v. Gage County, Nebraska, et al, 4:09CV3145 (WKU) is no
longer consolidated for discovery purposes or otherwise with 4:09-cv-03144-RGK,
4:09-cv-03146-RGK, 4:09-cv-03147-RGK, and 4:09-cv-03148-RGK. All further filings relative
to White v. Gage County, et al, 4:09CV3145 shall be addressed to Judge Urbom and Judge Zwart
and filed directly in that case rather than using the “spread text” function. A copy of this
Memorandum and Order shall be provided to Judge Urbom and Judge Zwart by the Clerk.
DATED this 4th day of February, 2013.
BY THE COURT:
Richard G. Kopf
Senior United States District Judge

Following the meeting today with counsel in my cases, a progression order will soon be
