ORDER
Courtney D. Jones, Judge.
These cases are assigned to this Division of the Court. On July 12, 2022, the parties filed motions to consolidate the above-docketed cases for the purposes of discovery, stipulation, trial, briefing, and opinion. The parties believe that a special session is necessary for trial and recommend setting a pretrial schedule for trial in Fall 2023. We agree that setting the proposed pretrial schedule will provide the parties with adequate time to prepare this case for trial. However, in the best interest of judicial economy, we will set trial for a time and date certain following a show of compliance with the pretrial schedule and substantive trial preparation.
Upon due consideration, it is ORDERED that, the parties' Motion to Consolidate, filed July 12, 2022, is granted. It is further
ORDERED that, on or before, October 24, 2022, the parties shall file a joint status report and set forth therein a proposed trial schedule.
