Clara Bernabe sues the State of Nevada, Clark County, and Ditech Financial, LLC for
11
“trespass on the case.” She claims that these defendants “exceeded” their “jurisdiction under color
12
of law” “in an attempt to unlawfully and forcefully extort money from counterclaimants and remove
13
counterclaimants from [their] domicile and land.”1 Defendant Ditech Financial moves to consolidate
14
this action with a prior action by Clara and Carlito Bernabe against Ditech alleging violations of the
15
Fair Debt Collection Practices Act.2 The Bernabes voluntarily dismissed their FDCPA case against
16
Ditech a month before Ditech moved for consolidation,3 and the FDCPA case was closed. As a
17
result, there are no longer multiple “actions before the court” capable of consolidation under Local
18
Rule 42-1(b), and the judge presiding over the earlier-filed case has denied the request for
19
consolidation.4
