ORDER OF CONSOLIDATION
Pursuant to this Court’s August 13, 2012 Order, the above-referenced cases are
herein CONSOLIDATED for all purposes under the LOWER DOCKET NUMBER,
1:11-cv-830. Notably, upon a sua sponte review of Case No. 1:12-cv-479, the Court found
that “it appeared that Plaintiff has stated a viable claim of retaliation under 42 U.S.C. §
1983 against defendant Zucker to the extent that plaintiff has alleged facts indicating that
after the filing of a related lawsuit against Zucker and others (see June Hill v. City of
Cincinnati, et al., No. 1:11-cv-830) Zucker took retaliatory actions against her which

included the removal of a permit that affects her means of employment as a taxicab driver.”
(See Case No. 1:12-cv-469, Doc. 6). Thus, that one claim of retaliation should be allowed
to proceed and consolidated with the earlier filed case.
Accordingly, ALL FUTURE FILINGS shall be made in Consolidated Case No.
1:11-cv-830.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
