MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE 

Pursuanx to 13 CP.R. § 13.205(a) aiid 5 U.S.C. § 556(cX Federal Express Corporation 

("FedEx"), and Empire Airlines, Inc. ("Empire") (collectively "Respondents") hereby request 

that the above-captioned cases be consolidated for hearing and state the following in support 

thereof: 

1. Both cases arise from the same facts and circumstances related to certain 

shipments in February 2009 involving FedEx and Empire, a regioral cargo airline supporting 

FedEx. A Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Hazardous Material Agent inspected these 

shipments during sorting operations at Great FaUs, Montana. 

2. Judicial economy would be served by the consolidation of these cases for several 

reaionis. Tlic wilucsscx uml csAliibils used iti each of the above cases are anticipated to be the 

same for each hearing. Complainant has requested that the hearing for both cases be set io the 

same location in Seattle, Washington. Both cases arc at the pre-hearing stage where it would be 

most convenient to consolidate.

3. Both Respondents support consolidation and neither would be unfairly prejudiced. 

Complainant also consents to consolidation. 

4, Respondents and Complainant conferred and agreed that a consolidated hearing 

woxild take two (2) days. Since the Administrotiv© Law Judge has scheduled the cases (and 

another case involving Respondent FedEx) for the week of August 22,2011, the parties jointly 

suggest August 25-26,2011, for a consolidated hearing. 

WHEREFC)RE, Respondents respectfully request that the Administrative Law Judge 

enter an order consolidating the above-captioned cases for a single hearing. 

Dated this 19'^ day of May, 2011.
