February 25, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 11 Order Consolidating Cases - The pretrial schedule issued in 3:20-cv-0096-RLY-MPB at dkt. 66 is suspended until further Order. The court finds that Mr. Wheeler's concerns are outweighed by the benefit of consolidation.

Mr. Wheeler shall have through March 24, 2021, to amend his complaint in case no. 3:20-cv-00096-RLY-MPB so it includes all defendants, claims, and factual allegations he wishes to pursue. All future filings shall be filed under case no. 3:20-cv-00096-RLY-MPB. SEE ORDER. Signed by Judge Richard L. Young on 2/25/2021.(JRB)
