ORDER
D.P. MARSHALL JR. UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
These two cases are substantially similar if not identical. The Court therefore consolidates them for all pre-trial proceedings. Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a)(2). The Court designates No. 4:24-cv-809 as the lead case. All future filings must be made under that docket number.
The Court grants Carney's motion for an extension of time, No. 4:24-cv-809, Doc. 18. Carney has until 4 November 2024 to respond to the CARTI defendants' motion to dismiss.
The Court will consider the parties' arguments across both cases in due course. Any defendant may reply within seven calendar days of Carney's response.
So Ordered.
