April 23, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 61 TEXT ORDER: deeming this case related to Balura et al. v. Ethicon Inc., et al., Civil Action No. 3:19-CV-1372 (LEK/ML) under Section G.2. of General Order 12, because there exists a similarity of facts and legal issues between the two cases that will likely result in a substantial saving of judicial resources. Additionally, actions involving common questions of law or fact pending before a court may be consolidated to avoid unnecessary costs or delay pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P., Rule 42(a). As a result, the Court finds that consolidation is appropriate; Civil Action No. 3:19-CV-1372 (LEK/ML) shall be deemed the "Lead Case" and this case shall be deemed a "Member Case." ALL FUTURE FILINGS MUST BE FILED IN THE LEAD ACTION ONLY, 3:19-cv-1372 (LEK/ML). NO FURTHER SUBMISSIONS ARE TO BE FILED IN THIS ACTION. SO ORDERED by Magistrate Judge Miroslav Lovric on 4/23/2020.(jdp)
