CONSOLIDATION ORDER: On March 5, 2024, the Court directed counsel in the above captioned cases to submit a joint letter indicating whether the two cases should be consolidated. See 22-CV-10667, ECF No. 85; 24-CV-1630, ECF No. 29. On March 8, 2024, counsel in both cases submitted a joint letter indicating that the parties believe consolidation to be appropriate, at least for purposes of discovery, but that Nixon should otherwise proceed on a separate track. See 22-CV-10667, ECF No. 88; 24-CV-1630, ECF No. 30. In light of counsel's views, and the factual and legal similarities among the cases, the cases are hereby CONSOLIDATED, at least for purposes of discovery. Accordingly, the Order and Notice of Initial Pretrial Conference entered in Ostenfeld at ECF No. 87 applies to Nixon as well. Furthermore, the parties' proposed briefing schedule for any motion to dismiss is hereby ADOPTED. See 24-CV-1630, ECF No. 30. The Clerk of the Court is directed to consolidate these cases under the lead case, ECF No.22-CV-10667, and to close 24-CV-1630. All future filings shall be on the 22-CV-10667 [the lead case] docket alone. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 3/08/2024) Filed In Associated Cases: 1:22-cv-10667-JMF, 1:24-cv-01630-JMF (ama)
