ORDER
On June 29, 2018, Debtor-Appellant Chen & Ju, Inc., filed a voluntary petition for
bankruptcy. See In Re Chen & Ju, Inc., No. 18-11150, Dkt. No. 1 (Bankr. N.D.N.Y.). Debtor
appeals judgments of the bankruptcy court entered August 10, 2018, granting relief from the
automatic stay and denying relief for violation of the automatic stay. These appeals were
docketed as Civil Nos. 18-cv-1005 and 18-cv-1007. Debtor has requested that these two appeals
be consolidated.
For purposes of judicial economy, the Court hereby

ORDERS that pursuant to Rule 42(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Civil Nos.
18-cv-1007 and 18-cv-1005 are hereby consolidated; and the Court further
ORDERS that pending a future order dismissing one of these actions, Civil No. 1:18-cv1005 shall be designated as the Lead Case, and Civil No. 1:18-cv-1007 shall be designated as the
Member Case; and the Court further
ORDERS that all further docketing shall take place in the Lead Case 1:18-cv-1005-MAD;
and the Court further
ORDERS that the Clerk of the Court serve a copy of this Order on all parties in
accordance with the Local Rules.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
