ORDER
JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge.
On June 2, 2021, Plaintiff Ryan O'Dell filed a complaint in 21-CV-4882. On June 11, 2021, Plaintiff Pam Milunovich filed a similar complaint in 21-CV-5235. As of this Order, no motion for consolidation has been filed, but 21-CV-5235 has been accepted by the Court as related to 21-CV-4882, and the cases appear to involve common questions of law and fact.
The Court is inclined to consolidate 21-CV-4882 and 21-CV-5235 pursuant to Rule 42 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure for all purposes. Any party who objects to such consolidation shall file a letter brief, not to exceed three single-spaced pages, by June 22, 2021. If no party files a letter opposing consolidation, the Court will consolidate the two cases without further notice to the parties. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, all other dates and deadlines remain in effect. If any party believes that the dates, deadlines, or procedures should be modified, it shall file a letter motion to that effect by June 22, 2021.
It is further ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall promptly serve a copy of this Order on each Defendant and file proof of such service on the docket.
The Clerk of Court is directed to file this Order on both above-captioned dockets.
SO ORDERED.
