[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE RELATED CASE NO. 21STCV17720 WITH CASE NO. 21STCV07846
Dept. 27 1:30 p.m. July 26, 2022 |
On May 11, 2021, Plaintiff Eric Burt (“Plaintiff”) filed a Complaint against Defendants Pluria William Marshall, Paula Marshall, Pluria Marshall III, Markus Derrell Smith, Wave Community Newspaper, Anthony James Garland, Alonza Ward and Does 1 through 50 (collectively, “Defendants”) alleging a cause of action for negligence arising out of a motor vehicle collision that occurred on May 28, 2019. Defendants now move to consolidate this action, Case No. 21STCV17720, with Case No. 21STCV07846 on grounds that they arise out of a single automobile accident that occurred on May 28, 2019.
The motion to consolidate is DENIED because the two cases have not yet been properly related—the notice of related cases must be filed in both cases-- and the notice of motion to consolidate must be filed in both cases thereafter.
The Motion to Consolidate is DENIED without prejudice.
Moving party to give notice.
