ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE WITH CASE NO. 2:12CV-668-RMP ~ 1 1 Defendant Perry argues that consolidation would be improper because his 2 case involves a number of unique issues, such as lack of timely notice and 3 objections to the Trustee’s conduct. ECF No. 50. However, the Court finds that 4 Defendant Perry’s assertions are insufficient to show that he would be prejudiced 5 by a consolidated bench trial.
