ORDER. With the consent of the district judges assigned to each of the individual cases, and the concurrence of the court's Calendar and Case Management Committee, the Secretary's 25 Motion to Consolidate is hereby GRANTED, except as to Count II of the Florida Health complaint, which challenges the 2013 rule. See Florida Health Sciences Center v. Price, No. 17-cv-1751 (RC), Fourth Am. Compl. [Dkt. #19]. The Clerk of Court is directed to reassign all of the other cases listed in footnote one, and Counts I and III of Florida Health, to this court by consent. The Clerk of Court is also directed to create a new miscellaneous matter which will include all of the individual cases. It is further ORDERRED that all pleadings, motions, or other papers relating to the consolidated cases shall be filed on the docket of the miscellaneous matter only and bear the following caption (see the order for the caption), reflecting the miscellaneous action number once it is assigned by the Clerk of the Court. This order shall be docketed in each of the individual cases. Finally, the Court notes that Allina II and Allina III were remanded based upon authority holding that "[u]nder settled principles of administrative law, when a court reviewing agency action determines that an agency made an error of law, the court's inquiry is at an end: the case must be remanded for further action consistent with the corrected legal standards." Allina II, Order [Dkt. #58]; Allina III, Order [Dkt. #34], quoting PPG Industries, Inc. v. United States, 52 F.3d 363, 365 (D.C. Cir. 1995). In consideration of those principles, it is ORDERED that any party taking the position that a remand of the newly consolidated cases is appropriate must file any motion for remand by November 15, 2019. Responses will be due by December 2, 2019, and any replies are due by December 9, 2019. Counsel for the plaintiffs in the consolidated matters are strongly encouraged to confer and submit a single, consolidated pleading; in the event that cannot be accomplished, any law firm representing more than one plaintiff may submit only one pleading on behalf of all of its clients. (The pleading may indicate if different plaintiffs take different view on the issue.) SO ORDERED. (SEE THE ORDER FOR COMPLETE DETAILS) Signed by Judge Amy Berman Jackson on 11/1/2019. (jth)
