LCR 42. Consolidation; Separate Trials

Local Civil Rule
(a) Motions to Consolidate.

Motions to consolidate cases for trial or other purposes, or to reassign a case to a different judge for reasons of the efficient administration of justice, shall be made in writing to the Respective Chief Judge. (See LGR 29(h)). Cases without a case schedule or an assigned judge may be consolidated into another case by any judicial officer on the Court’s own motion. The assigned judicial officer will hear motions to consolidate on cases where both or all cases are assigned to that judge. Note: The court may order cases linked for administrative tracking and judicial efficiency. Linking cases does not consolidate the cases, issues, or parties.
