4:10CV3132 ORDER

4:10CV3139 ORDER

This matter is before the court on the plaintiffs' Notice of Related Case (Filing No. 54 in case 4:10CV3132; Filing No. 41 in case 4:10CV3139). The plaintiffs seek to alert the court of the related nature of a newly filed case, Susan Barker v. Samuel P. Baird, et al., 8:10CV326, for purposes of assignment of judges pursuant to NEGenR 1.4(a)(4). However, the filer of the newly filed case provided such notice at the time of filing. Based on the plaintiff's notice, no further action need be taken in this regard because the laterfiled case was assigned to the same judges as the previously consolidated cases, pursuant to court procedure. Additionally, the plaintiffs state these consolidated cases are related to and arise from similar law and facts as a later-filed third case, Susan Barker v. Samuel P. Baird, et al., 8:10CV326, such that these three cases should all be consolidated. Despite the plaintiffs' notice and the court's September 2, 2010, order in the above-captioned cases, the non-moving parties shall have an opportunity to object to consolidation of Susan Barker v. Samuel P. Baird, et al., 8:10CV326 with Susan E. Bredthauer v. Gilbert G.
