Opinion
Civil Action No. 05-cv-00026-EWN-PAC.
April 19, 2007
ORDER
This matter is before the court on the motion to consolidate (#302) filed April 18, 2007. The necessary predicate for a motion to consolidate is that the cases in the proposed consolidation are "pending before the court." Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a). That predicate is not satisfied, since this case was closed by entry of final judgment on March 29, 2007. It is therefore
ORDERED that the motion to consolidate be DENIED.
