Date Filed Document Text
May 1, 2023 Opinion or Order SUPPLEMENTAL STANDARD ORDER to #12 Standard Order for civil cases filed 10/4/22 to include the following: The deadlines in the Local Rules provide adequate time for briefing in all but exceptional circumstances and parties should not expect motions for extensions of time to be granted. Scheduling Orders will not be modified merely because the parties so agree. The Court expects the parties to promptly move the case towards final resolution and to build in time for coping with delays and obstacles, as they are a normal part of litigation. The press of other legal work is not a valid basis for an extension of time or a continuance, as this case is just as important as other cases and clients. Issued by JUDGE CATHERINE C. EAGLES on 5/1/23. (Winchester, Robin)
November 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 17 ORDER signed by JUDGE CATHERINE C. EAGLES on 11/14/2022; that these cases have been consolidated for discovery and will likely be consolidated for trial as set out herein. Because the cases are presently being consolidated only for purposes of discovery, they will remain separate cases, and the case caption for each separate case should be included on all consolidated filings.

For the other related cases included in this consolidation, the Clerk's office will enter a docket entry with today's date, noting that the case has been consolidated with No. 22-CV-468 for purposes of discovery and directing that all consolidated filings are to be made only in No. 22-CV-468 until the Court orders otherwise.
