In Re: Second Wave IBM Arbitration Agreement Litigation

Filing 20

ORDER. On December 22, 2021, Plaintiff Trapp filed the complaint in 21-CV-10979. As of this Order, no motion for consolidation has been filed, but the Court accepted the case as related to the cases consolidated under 21-CV-9574, and the cases appear to involve common questions of law and fact. The Court is inclined to consolidate this case with 21-CV-9574 pursuant to Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for all purposes. Any party who objects to such consolidation shall file a letter brief, not to exceed three single-spaced pages, by January 12, 2022. If no party files a letter opposing consolidation, the Court will consolidate the two cases without further notice. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 1/5/22) (yv)
