August 24, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 39 ORDER re #38 MOTION to Consolidate Cases filed by Kevin Franken. Plaintiff Kevin Franken filed a motion to consolidate this case with two others: Franken v. Harris, No. 3:18-cv-1837-LB, pending before the undersigned, and Franken v. Esper, No. 3:18-cv-4120-SK, pending before Judge Kim. He has noticed a hearing date of September 13, 2018. The consolidation motion needs to be filed in all three cases, Rutter Group, Federal Civil Procedure Before Trial 16:148 (2018 ed.), and generally it is heard on a 35-day schedule, not the four-day schedule that attends motions to relate cases, N.D. Cal. Civ. L.R. 7-2(a). Consolidation is different than relating the cases; even if the cases are related, they can be coordinated.The court construes the motion in part as a motion to relate the cases (which it can do under N.D. Cal. Civ. L. R. 3-12(b)) and will wait four days from the date of the motion (i.e., until August 27, 2018) for the government's response.For consolidation, Mr. Franken must file his consolidation motion in the other two cases. If the government wants, it can give its views on consolidation too in its response to the motion to relate cases. Otherwise, the court can reset the hearing date on the ordinary 35-day-to-hearing schedule. Signed by Judge Laurel Beeler on August 24, 2018. (This is a text-only entry generated by the court.
