UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LEO WELTMAN,

Plaintiff,

CASE NO. 08CV0840 JM(WMc)

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

CONSOLIDATE WITHOUT

PREJUDICE

vs.

ORTHO MATTRESS, INC.,

Defendant.

Plaintiff, on behalf of himself and all persons similarly situated, moves to consolidate the

above identified action with a related action, Thomas v. Ortho Mattress, Inc., Case No. 09cv0975

JM(WMc). The only Defendant in both actions, Ortho Mattress Inc., does not oppose the motion to

consolidate but requests a 90 day extension of time to complete discovery. The court denies the

motion to consolidate without prejudice because Thomas seeks to represent a class of employees

including both Salespersons and Store Managers whereas Weltman seeks to represent a class

consisting of Salespersons only. As the two actions seek to represent two different classes, the motion

is denied without prejudice. Plaintiffs may renew the motion to consolidate following a hearing on

class certification.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

DATED: August 6, 2009

 Hon. Jeffrey T. Miller

 United States District Judge
