ORDER
Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding without counsel in an action brought under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Currently before the court is plaintiff's motion to consolidate this case with Anderson v. Towne, No. 2:08-cv-02480-CTB (" Towne") "for purpose of a joinder settlement conference." Dckt. No. 87.
Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a), the court may consolidate cases that "involve a common question of law or fact." This case and Towne do not involve a common question of law or fact, but instead concern different events and different defendants. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion for consolidation is denied.
So ordered.
