STIPULATION TO CONSOLIDATE 

 The parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, agree that action number 

C-05-0137 MMC should be consolidated with earlier filed action number C-04-2507 because 

they involve common questions of fact and law. Both actions involve essentially the same set of 

facts, similar claims, the same witnesses and the same defendants. Consolidation of both 

actions serves the interests of judicial economy, the convenience of the Court, and the

convenience of the parties. Consolidation of both actions also prevents piecemeal litigation and 

the potential for inconsistent rulings. 

Therefore, the parties, by and through their undersigned counsel, respectfully request an 

order of the Court consolidating action number C-05-0137 MMC with action number 

C-04-2507.
