ORDER FURTHER
CONSOLIDATING CASES,
SUSPENDING FURTHER
BRIEFING, and SETTING
CERTAIN MOTIONS ON FOR
HEARING JULY 15, 2014

THIS MATTER is before the court on the courts own motion for administrative
consolidation and to suspend further briefing in this matter. At issue is whether this court should
withdraw the reference from the bankruptcy court and whether the bankruptcy court properly
sealed certain matters. The pleadings before the court are already voluminous and, to a great
extent, redundant. The above captioned matters will, therefore be consolidate with the other
cases already consolidated for hearing July 15, 2014, for further administrative proceedings
under the file number of the first action filed in the first consolidation; however, the formal
Motion to Consolidate will be still be heard. The Clerk of Court will notice all motions pending
in the cases herein consolidated for hearing during the previously set July 15, 2014, hearing.

ORDER
IT IS, THEREFORE, ORDERED that 3:14cv116, 118, 130, and 137 are consolidated
with the cases previously consolidated (3:14cv171, 210, 212, 214, 215, 216, 217, and 221) under
the caption of 3:14cv171, and all pending motions in these actions are also calendared for
disposition during the July 15, 2014, hearing. The Briefing Deadlines are all suspended.

Finally, chambers has received a number of calls from counsel both in and outside the
case concerning participation by telephone or listening in via telephone. Anyone who wants to
be present in the courtroom is welcome to attend; however, the court will not allow such
proceeding to be broadcast. Counsel who cannot attend should contact the official court reporter
for a transcript.
