It is ordered by the court that the clerk shall issue an order for the transmittal of the record from the Court of Appeals for Montgomery County.
It is ordered by the court, sua sponte, that this cause is consolidated with 2016–1737, Cyran v. Cyran , and that briefing in 2016–1737 and 2016–1870 shall be consolidated.
