captioned: In re Avalanche Biotechnologies Securities Litigation. 

2. All related actions that are subsequently filed in, or transferred to, this District shall

action, absent order of the Court. Any party that objects to such consolidation, or to any other 

provision of this Order, must file an application for relief from this Order within thirty (30) days 

after the date on which a copy of the order is mailed to the party’s counsel, pursuant to Paragraph 

7, infra.

severance of any claim or action, for good cause shown.
