On December 19, 2007, the parties filed a Stipulation in

which they seek to consolidate the above-captioned cases, vacate a

pending motion to consolidate, and vacate a pending hearing date

only on a motion for summary judgment. In their Stipulation, the

parties request the court to consolidate Action No. 2:07-cv-01173

with Action No. 2:07-cv-00166, however, the parties are erroneous

in their use of action number 2:07-cv-01173 because this is not the

action number for the referenced case.1 The correct number is

2:07-cv-02673, and this case is presently assigned to another

district court judge and magistrate judge. Since the action is

related to my action, 2:07-cv-02673 is reassigned and shall be

designated as follows: 2:07-cv-002673-GEB-EFB. The Clerk of Court

shall make an appropriate adjustment in the assignment of civil

cases to compensate for this reassignment. 

The actions will be consolidated. Pursuant to Federal

Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the abovecaptioned actions are CONSOLIDATED for all purposes;

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Action No. 2:07-cv-002673-MCEGGH shall be administratively CLOSED, and Action No. 2:07-cv-00166-

GEB-EFB is hereby designated the "MASTER FILE." Henceforth, all

documents to be filed in the above-captioned actions shall make

reference to and be denominated as Action No. 2:07-cv-00166-GEB-EFB

only.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiffs' motions to

consolidate these two actions, or in the alternative, to amend the

complaint in Action No. 2:07-cv-00166-GEB-EFB, filed on December

17, 2007, with a hearing date of January 14, 2008, are deemed

withdrawn. The hearing date of January 14, 2008 for Plaintiffs'

motion for summary judgment in Action No. 2:07-cv-00166-GEB-EFB,

filed on December 17, 2007, is taken off calendar, and that motion

is deemed withdrawn without prejudice. A status conference is

scheduled for March, 17, 2008 at 9:00 a.m. A Joint Status Report

is due fourteen days prior. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 21, 2007
