Pursuant to Rule 42(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, “[i]f actions before the 

court involve a common question of law or fact, the court may: (1) join for hearing or trial any or 

all matters at issue in the actions; (2) consolidate the actions; or (3) issue any other orders to 

avoid unnecessary cost or delay.” In exercising its discretion, the Court “weighs the saving of 

time and effort consolidation would produce against any inconvenience, delay, or expense that it 

would cause.” Huene v. United States, 743 F.2d 703, 704 (9th Cir. 1984). 

Here, the Court finds that the actions involve the same or similar parties, claims, and 

questions of fact or law and that consolidation will avoid unnecessary costs and duplication of 

proceedings. Thus, good cause exists to grant the parties’ stipulation to consolidate the cases.

Accordingly, 

1. The parties’ stipulation (No. 1:21-cv-00241-ADA-BAM, ECF No. 68) consolidating these 

cases, is granted;

2. The above-referenced cases shall be consolidated for all purposes, including trial, pursuant 

to Rule 42(a);

3. The Clerk of the Court is directed to file this order in each of the above-referenced cases;

and

4. Going forward, the parties and the Clerk of the Court are directed to file documents under 

only the lead case number. Future captions should indicate the lead case number followed 

by the member case number as follows:

Lead Case: 1:21-cv-00241-ADA-BAM

Member Case: 1:22-cv-00146-ADA-BAM

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: May 6, 2023
