April 28, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 18 ORDER CONSOLIDATING CASES by Judge Josephine L. Staton. The Court ORDERS that the actions are consolidated for the purpose of discovery and pre-trial litigation. The Court will consider whether to keep the actions consolidated through trial at a later point in the litigation. Going forward, all filings shall be made in Dorian Kingi v. SAG-AFTRA, Case No. 2:24-cv-01996-JLS-JC. The consolidated action shall bear the caption identified in this Order, which will be shortened to Kingi, et al. v. SAG-AFTRA, et al. The other 39 cases are administratively closed. As a result of consolidation, the motions to dismiss pending in all 40 actions, are DENIED AS MOOT. The hearing on the motions to dismiss scheduled for 5/24/2024, is VACATED. The Court intends to rule on the 40 motions to remand within the now-consolidated action; that hearing date is still set for 4/24/2024, and any reply brief shall be filed as single reply brief in the consolidated action, in accordance with the timing requirements set by the Local Rules. Defendant shall not renew its motion to dismiss until the Court has ruled on the motion to remand; in the event the actions remain in federal court, the Court will issue an order requiring Plaintiffs to file an amended consolidated complaint.
