STIPULATED ORDER OF CONSOLIDATION
TERRENCE G. BERG UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
The parties, through their undersigned counsel, stipulate as follows:
Pursuant to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, if two actions before the Court involve “a common question of law or fact,” the Court may “(1) join for hearing or trial any or all matters at issues in the actions; (2) consolidate the actions; or (3) issue any other orders to avoid unnecessary cost or delay.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a).
The cases before the Court involve common questions of law and fact. To promote convenience and judicial economy, and to avoid unnecessary costs and delay, the Court orders the consolidation of these separate cases. Accordingly, IT IS ORDERED that Case No. 24-10547 is consolidated with Case No. 2411358 for all purposes, including trial.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that all subsequent papers filed after the date of this order shall be entered on the lead case, Case No. 24-10547.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Case No. 24-11358 is closed for administrative purposes.
