October 7, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER terminating #13 Letter Motion to Consolidate Cases: Because Debtors have not yet filed a motion to stay the Debtors' 506(c) Appeal, the Court will DISREGARD the instant letter-motion to the extent it purports to be a response to such a motion. The Court will also DISREGARD the letter-motion to the extent it reiterates the arguments previously made in the Direct Certification Motion. It appears that counsel for the Second Lien Holders believe their clients' position is somehow advanced by making premature and/or repetitive arguments to the Court. In that regard, counsel is mistaken. To the extent the letter-motion requests that the 506(c) Appeals be consolidated with the 507(b) Appeals, that application is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
