CASE NO: 20STCV10754 (R/T 22STCV02723)

[TENTATIVE] ORDER DENYING MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Dept. 31

1:30 p.m.

January 31, 2023

Defendants David Koroshec and Charles Hall, Jr. (collectively, “Defendants”) seek an order consolidating this action, 20STCV10754, with 22STCV02723, contending the two actions arise out of the same multi vehicle accident. The two cases have been deemed related and are pending in this Department. (Min. Order, Nov. 3, 2022.)

The motion is denied without prejudice. The motion does not comply with California Rules of Court, 3.350, which requires a copy of the notice of motion to be filed in each case sought to be consolidated. (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.350(a)(1)(C).) The Court’s records show that the notice of motion was not filed in 22STCV02723. The denial is without prejudice to Defendant refiling the motion after complying with all Rules of Court or all necessary parties’ submission of a stipulation to consolidate.

Moving Defendants are ordered to give notice.
