Before the Court for consideration is Defendants’ fully briefed Motion to Sever

15

Cases for Trial (Doc. #261) filed November 15, 2012. At the hearing conducted January

16

16, 2013, the Parties clarified that since the filing of Defendants’ Motion, several Plaintiffs

17

have reached resolution of their claims against Defendants. As a result, the claims of only

18

ten (10) Plaintiffs remain for trial.

19

Having considered the arguments of the Parties, the Court concludes that the

20

interest of judicial economy warrant proceeding with a single trial in these cases and that

21

any potential prejudice to Defendants can be addressed by appropriate jury instructions.

22

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that Defendants’ Motion to Sever Cases for

23

Trial (Doc. #261) is DENIED.
