ORDER GRANTING DEFENDANT'S UNOPPOSED MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE

ROBERT BLACKBURN, District Judge

The matter before me is Defendant's Notice of Related Case and Unopposed Motion To Consolidate [#80], filed March 15, 2010. I grant the motion.

As I found and concluded in previous orders granting consolidation in this matter, the newly instituted action, Civil Case No. 10-cv-00552-PAB, Martin 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] filed September 28, 2009; Order Granting Defendant's Unopposed Motion To Consolidate Related Actions [#52] entered October 15, 2009; Order Granting Defendant's Unopposed Motion To Consolidate [#78] entered March 3, 2010.) 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 [#80] filed March 15, 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-00552-PAB 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-00552-PAB SHALL BE ASSIGNED to the Honorable Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge for the United States District of Colorado;

4. That all future filings in these consolidated actions shall be captioned as shown below:

No. 56) [#70] filed December 14, 2009, or, alternatively, SHALL FILE a separate response to the motion by no later than March 22, 2010; provided, furthermore, if plaintiff files a separate response, then defendant may file a reply within the time permitted by D.C.COLO.LCivR 7.1C.
