ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE
The matter before me is Defendant's Notice of Related Case and Unopposed Motion To Consolidate [#77] filed March 2, 2010. I grant the motion.
As I found in previous orders granting consolidation in this matter, the newly instituted action, Civil Case No. 10-cv-00400-PAB-MJW, Malloy v. The Boeing Company, Inc. , implicates questions of law and fact common to those arising in the cases previously consolidated. ( See Order Granting Motion To Consolidate and Denying Motions To Dismiss Without Prejudice [#32] entered June 15, 2009; Order Granting Defendant's Unopposed Motion To Consolidate Related Actions [#49] entered September 28, 2009; Order Granting Defendant's Unopposed Motion To Consolidate Related Actions [#52] entered October 15, 2009.) Consolidation of this action into Civil Case No. 09-cv-00397-REB-MEH, therefore, will be appropriate and efficacious. See FED.R.CIV.P. 42(a); Breaux v. American Family Mutual Insurance Co. , 220 F.R.D. 366, 367 (D. Colo. 2004).
THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:
1. That Defendant's Notice of Related Case and Unopposed Motion To Consolidate [#77] filed March 2, 2010, is GRANTED;
2. That pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 42(a) and D.C.COLO.LCivR 42.1, Civil Case No. 10-cv-00400-PAB-MJW is CONSOLIDATED with Civil Case No. 09-cv-00397-REB-MEH for all purposes;
3. That pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 42.1, Civil Case No. 10-cv-00400-PAB-MJW is REASSIGNED to Magistrate Judge Michael Hegarty;
4. That all future filings in these consolidated actions shall be captioned as shown below:
