Opinion
ORDER
MORRISON C. ENGLAND, Jr., Chief District Judge.
Presently before the Court are Hynes Aviation Industries, Inc.'s ("Hynes") unopposed Motions to Consolidate Related Cases (2:13-cv-00288, ECF 79; 2:13-cv-01674, ECF No. 53). Because of the common issues of fact between the two cases, see Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a)(2), and in the interest of judicial economy, Hynes's Motions are GRANTED.
Because oral argument will not be of material assistance, the Court orders this matter submitted on the briefs. E.D. Cal. Local Rule 230(g).
Case No. 2:13-cv-00288 is designated as the "master file." The Clerk of the Court is directed to add all complaints and answers filed in Case No. 2:13-cv-01674 to the master case, and to administratively close case No. 2:13-cv-01674. The parties are directed to file a Joint Status Report within thirty (30) days of the filing of this order, and to file all future pleadings, motions, and other filings ONLY in case No. 2:13-cv-00288.
The hearing on Hynes's Motions, currently set for March 19, 2015, is hereby vacated.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
