1

On October 15, 2015, Case No. 2:15-cv-01998-GMN-GWF was filed in this Court, and on

2

May 10, 2017, Case No. 2:17-cv-01330-JAD-GWF was filed in this Court. Because both cases

3

involve the same dispute between Plaintiff and Defendant Heinaman Contract Glazing, Inc.,

4

regarding the same labor agreements and ERISA causes of action, the presiding District Judges

5

in both of these actions have determined that these actions are related and that there is good cause

6

to consolidate them under the same District Judge and Magistrate Judge. Further, consolidation

7

will promote judicial efficiency, avoid duplicative filings by the parties, and will not result in

8

prejudice to the parties.

9

Therefore,

10

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Case No. 2:15-cv-01998-GMN-GWF and Case No.

11

2:17-cv-01330-JAD-GWF are CONSOLIDATED, with Case No. 2:15-cv-01998-GMN-GWF to

12

serve as the Lead Case and the other case serving as the Member Case. All further documents

13

shall be filed in the Lead Case 2:15-cv-01998-GMN-GWF and shall bear that case number.

14

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Clerk of Court shall REASSIGN Case No.: 2:17-cv-

15

01330-JAD-GWF to District Judge Gloria M. Navarro, and Magistrate Judge George W. Foley,

16

for all further proceedings.
