Date Filed Document Text
June 6, 2024 Filing 15 RULING LETTER SENT resetting briefing schedule pursuant to the order entered 06/06/2024: appellant brief now due 07/08/2024; appellee brief now due 08/07/2024. (SSS) [Entered: 06/06/2024 09:05 AM]
June 6, 2024 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER filed: In Case No. 24-3417, the plaintiff moves to consolidate the two appeals for briefing and submission. The defendants offer no response. The appeals arise from separate actions with differing parties and distinct records. The court does not typically consolidate briefing in these circumstances as the rules on record citation necessitate maintaining separate, albeit parallel, briefing. Accordingly, the motion to consolidate is DENIED [ # 7167866-2 ] [ # 7167866-3 ], insofar as these appeals will be briefed independently. Upon the completion of briefing, the appeals will be submitted to the same panel for consideration on the same date. The decision to hold oral argument or not and the structure of any appellate argument are reserved to the merits panel to which these appeals will be assigned. The case association will be noted on the docket, and the clerk will re-issue simultaneous yet independent briefing schedules for the two appeals.
