STIPULATION FOR AN ORDER AND ORDER CONSOLIDATING
THE ABOVE-LISTED APPEALS FOR PURPOSES OF BRIEFING
The parties to the above captioned matters, through their counsel of record, hereby enter this Stipulation requesting the Court to consolidate the three appellate matters that are the subject of this Stipulation in order to permit the filing of a single Opening, Opposition and Reply Memorandum in the prosecution of these appeals.
The basis for this stipulation is that all three appeals address a single issue - the propriety of the Bankruptcy Court's Order sanctioning Appellant and awarding attorney's fees to the Appellee. The Bankruptcy Court issued a single Order, and entered a single Judgment, applicable to the three matters now appealed in the aggregate. Thus the issues on appeal can be addressed by a single set of briefs and a single Excerpt of Record and from each side of the controversy thereby avoiding unnecessary duplication and saving the time and effort of both the litigants and the Court.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
