RANDEEP SINGH MANN, PLAINTIFF

v. Case No. 4:15-cv-00713 SWW/JTK

DOES DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Plaintiff Randeep Singh Mann, a federal inmate incarcerated at the Terre Haute Federal 

Correctional Institution, moves for consolidation of three civil rights actions filed pro se pursuant 

to 42 U.S.C. § 1983 and Bivens v. Six Unknown Agents of Fed. Bureau of Narcotics, 403 U.S. 

388 (1971) (Dkt. No. 7). Having reviewed the allegations in these cases, the Court finds that 

consolidation of two of these actions is appropriate. Therefore, the Court grans in part and 

denies in part Mr. Mann’s motion to consolidate cases1 (Dkt. No. 7). In accordance with the 

practice of the Eastern District of Arkansas, the first-filed case (Mann v. Johnson, et al., Case 

 1 Mr. Mann filed a motion to consolidate in Mann v. Does, et. al., Case No. 5:15-cv00369 BSM/JTR. United States District Judge Brian Miller denied Mr. Mann’s motion after 

finding that Mr. Mann’s claims were factually and legally unrelated to his claims in Mann v. Dr. 

Johnson, et al., Case No. 4:15-cv-00710 KGB/JTK and Mann v. Does, Case No. 4:15-cv-713

SWW/JTK. The Court agrees with Judge Miller’s analysis and denies Mr. Mann’s motion to 

consolidate these cases with Mann v. Does, et. al., Case No. 5:15-cv-00369 BSM/JTR.

No. 4:15-cv-00710 KGB/JTK) is hereby designated the lead case, and all future pleadings and 

filings shall be made and docketed in the lead case.

The Court directs Mr. Mann to comply with Magistrate Judge Jerome T. Kearney’s 

earlier Order filed in this action (Dkt. No. 6). If Mr. Mann fails to submit either the $400 

statutory filing fee or an in forma pauperis motion within 30 days of the entry date of this Order, 

his case may be dismissed pursuant to Local Rule 5.5.

So ordered this 26th day of January, 2016.
