This stipulation is entered into by and amongst Hathaway Dinwiddie Construction Company, 

Travelers Casualty and Surety Company of America, and Federal Insurance Company, Rosendin 

Electric, Inc., as a defendant and real party in interest, and A.S.F. Electric, Inc., as real party in 

interest, by and through their respective counsel of record:

WHEREAS, Rosendin Electric, Inc. filed its Complaint for (1) Breach of Contract; and (2) 

Recovery Against Payment Bond Under the Miller Act 40 USCA §§ 3131, et seq., on March 25, 

2015 (the “REI Action”);

WHEREAS, A.S.F. Electric, Inc. filed its Complaint for (1) Breach of Contract; and (2) 

Recovery Against Payment Bond Under the Miller Act 40 USCA §§ 3131, et seq., on March 27, 

2015 (the “ASF Action”);

WHEREAS, counsel for the parties have conferred, and the parties are in agreement that the 

REI Action should be consolidated with the ASF Action for all purposes because the cases arise 

from the same construction project, involve similar allegations and common questions of law or fact, 

and because consolidation would advance the interests of judicial economy.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through 

their respective counsel, as follows:

1. That the following actions are related cases within the meaning of Local Civil Rule 3-

12(a):

a. The United States of America for the use and benefit of Rosendin Electric, Inc. v.

KAW; and

b. The United States of America for the use and benefit of A.S.F Electric, Inc. v. 

Rosendin Electric, Inc., et al., Case No. 4:15-cv-01427-KAW.

2. That pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a), the above captioned cases are 

hereby consolidated for all purposes into one action.

3. These actions shall be referred to as the “Consolidated Actions,” and The United States of 

America for the use and benefit of Rosendin Electric, Inc. v. Hathaway Dinwiddie 

Construction Company, et al., Case No. 4:15-cv-01376-KAW shall be the lead case. The
