IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS 

NORTHERN DIVISION 

CHRISTINA HALL, Individually and on Behalf 

of All Others Similarly Situated PLAINTIFF

v. No. 3:18-cv-235-DPM

INMATE SERVICES CORPORATION 

and RANDY CAGLE, JR. DEFENDANTS

DAVID DILLARD and NICOLAS WILLIAMS PLAINTIFFS

v. No. 2:19-cv-150-DPM

INMATE SERVICES CORPORATION 

and RANDY CAGLE, JR. DEFENDANTS

ORDER

1. A wage dispute between Inmate Services and current and 

former extradition agents has generated two lawsuits. The lawyers in 

each case are the same. Common questions of fact and law exist. The 

Court therefore consolidates the cases to handle them most efficiently. 

FED. R. CIV. P. 42(a)(2). We’ll see, in due course, if more than one trial 

is needed. FED. R. CIV. P. 42(b). All future filings should be made in 

No. 3:18-cv-235-DPM, the lead case, with the joint style used in this 

Order. The parties’ causes of action are not merged, though; and a 

separate judgment will be entered when each matter is resolved. Hall 

v. Hall, 138 S. Ct. 1118, 1127 (2018).

3. The Court grants the parties’ joint request and refers the case 

to Magistrate Judge Patricia Harris to conduct a settlement conference
