NOT FOR CITATION

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

PIOTR J. GARDIAS,

Plaintiff,

 v.

THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY,

SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY,

Defendant. /

No. C07-06242 HRL

ORDER DENYING PLAINTIFF’S

MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE

[Docket No. 2]

On December 11, 2007, plaintiff filed his sixth lawsuit (C07-06242) for alleged

employment discrimination against defendant and requested that it be consolidated for all

purposes with his five previously filed actions under Consolidated Case No. C04-04086. 

Although the court indicated, at a February 5, 2008 status conference in C04-04086, that it was

inclined to grant plaintiff’s request, upon further review of his complaint in C07-06242, it

appears that this newest lawsuit raises issues that are not present in the other five. Specifically,

plaintiff’s newest complaint indicates that he intends to raise issue(s) as to a claimed disability. 

By contrast, in C04-04086HRL, plaintiff vigorously opposed defendant’s efforts to obtain

discovery of his medical records by disclaiming any disability and any intent to inject issues as

to his health in that litigation. Indeed, defendant consequently was barred from taking

discovery of plaintiff’s medical records because of these positions taken by plaintiff.
