ORDER
Defendants’ Motion for Leave to File a Reply (Doc. 14 in Civil Action No. 13-709)
is GRANTED, and the Reply is deemed filed at Doc. 15 in Civil Action No. 13-709.

Defendants’ unopposed Motion to consolidate these several cases (Doc. 52 in Civil Action
No. 12-1011) is GRANTED, and the above-captioned cases (Civil Action No. 12-1011,
Civil Action No. 13-518, Civil Action No. 13-519 and Civil Action No. 13-709) are hereby
CONSOLIDATED, for pretrial purposes, under Civil Action Number 12-1011 (“the Lead
Case”). The Court later may revisit, by motion or of its own accord (after notice to the parties
and an opportunity to respond), whether the cases ultimately should be consolidated for trial.
In granting Defendants’ Motion to Consolidate, the Court holds that Defendants’
statements for the purposes of consolidation shall have no bearing on issues related to class
certification.
Until further notice, all filings in these consolidated cases shall be docketed under the
Lead Case, and the parties may abbreviate their captions to read, “In re Milo’s Dog Treats
Consolidated Cases, Civil Action No. 12-1011,” or a reasonable equivalent. As soon as is
practicable, the parties shall re-file any Motions (only) pending in the non-lead cases into the
docket of the Lead Case, and such refiling shall not affect or prejudice any party’s rights and/or
obligations in any way.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
