____________________________)

Pending before the Court is the Plaintiff's Motion to Transfer and Consolidate Related

Case (Doc. 1955). The Plaintiff moves this Court, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 42, and Local

Rule 42.1, to transfer a related case to this Court and to consolidate it with this action. The

related case is entitled ACE Insurance Co., Ltd., et al, Appellants v. Gerald K. Smith, et. al,

Appellees, and bears civil case no. CV 02-0325-PHX-JAT ("ACE Appeal"). However, the

Court declines to consolidate and transfer the ACE Appeal with the above captioned cases.

The case the Plaintiff seeks to transfer is an appeal of a decision rendered by the Bankruptcy

Court. Judge Rosenblatt, having reached senior status, no longer accepts bankruptcy appeals.

Therefore,

IT IS ORDERED that the Plaintiff's Motion to Consolidate (Doc. 1955) is DENIED.
