Case Consolidated. (RG) |
ORDER: The Court has received the parties' consent motion to consolidate Buehler v. American Airlines Group Inc., et al, 23-cv-4089, into In re American Airlines/JetBlue Antitrust Litigation, lead case No. 22-cv-7374. (See No. 22-cv-7374, ECF No. 40.) A court may consolidate cases pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a) where they "involve a common question of law or fact." A court has "broad discretion to consolidate actions under Rule 42(a)." Stone v. Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd., 280 F.R.D. 142, 143 (S.D.N.Y. 2012) (citing Devlin v. Transp. Commc'ns Int'l Union, 175 F.3d 121, 130 (2d Cir. 1999)). "Consolidation is warranted where it promotes judicial economy and serves to eliminate... the danger of inconsistent verdicts." KGK Jewelry LLC v. ESDNetwork, Nos. 11-CV-9236, 12-CV-9130, 2014 WL 7333291, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Dec. 24, 2014) (internal quotation marks omitted); Johnson v. Celotex Corp., 899 F.2d 1281, 1284 (2d Cir. 1990) (considerations of judicial economy weigh in favor of consolidation). On January 10, 2023, the Court has ordered that all related putative class action cases that are subsequently filed in or transferred to this Court will be consolidated into 22-cv-7374. (See ECF No. 25 (All antitrust class actions on behalf of direct purchasers of airline tickets... from defendants JetBlue Airways Corp.... and American Airlines Group Inc.... from when the Northeast Alliance was officially established on July 16, 2020 through the present day, subsequently filed in, or transferred to, this District will be consolidated into this action.).) Because 23-cv-4089 satisfies this description, it is hereby consolidated into 22-cv-7374. ( Ordered by Judge Ann M Donnelly on 7/5/2023 ) (RG) |
