Date Filed Document Text
May 6, 2021 Filing 48 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court is in receipt of the motion to consolidate filed by Mark Schwartz, the Mark Alan Schwartz Mesh Suture Revocable Trust Dated 12/2/2017 (the "Trust") and Advanced Suture, Inc. #46 . Local Rule 40.4 requires a party seeking reassignment of a related case to file the motion in the lowest-numbered case of the claimed related set and notice it before the judge assigned to that case; in this case, that means Judge Lee, who presides over Case No. 19 CV 6771. This Court strikes the motion for failing to comply with the Local Rule. Mailed notice. (kp, )
