08/08/2013Order/ProceduralFiled Order Denying Motion to Consolidate. Petitioners have filed a motion to consolidate these original writ petitions, which real party in interest opposes.

Fn1[To the extent that petitioners, in seeking consolidation of these petition, also ask this court for relief with regard to the timing and scope of a pending evidentiary hearing, we conclude that these requests are outside of the scope of the motion for consolidation, and we therefore deny them.] Nos. 62489/62944/63444.13-23251
