SECOND AMENDED ORDER OF CONSOLIDATION

AVERN COHN, District JudgePage 2

On April 21, 2005, the Court entered an Order of Consolidation and Pretrial Order in the captioned cases. The consolidation was too broad. Case No. 04-74653 is not consolidated and shall proceed separately and contemporaneously with the other two cases. Case No. 05-71074 is bifurcated. The case of the City of Ecorse shall proceed separately and contemporaneously with the case of the individual plaintiffs in the case and Case No. 04-74654. The City of Ecorse shall file an amended complaint in Case No. 04-71074 setting forth the allegations supporting its claims. The case of the individual plaintiffs in Case No. 05-71074 and Case No. 04-74654 are consolidated. Within 20 days a consolidated amended complaint of the individual plaintiffs shall be filed. Individual plaintiffs may subsequently file a motion for entry of an order of class certification in the form desired pursuant to the Court's comments at the hearing on November 16, 2005.

SO ORDERED.
