MINUTE ORDER signed by Magistrate Judge Christopher D. Baker on 08/07/2026: Following its review of the pleadings in this action and in a later filed action commenced by Petitioner (Comas v. Warden, Case No. 1:26-cv-05782-KES-CDB), the Court concludes the cases involve common questions of law or fact and that the saving of time and effort consolidation would produce outweighs any inconvenience, delay, or expense that it would cause. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a)(2); In re Adams Apple, Inc., 829 F.2d 1484, 1487 (9th Cir. 1987) (court may consolidate actions sua sponte). Accordingly, it is HEREBY ORDERED that: (1) this action (Comas v. Warden, et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-04387-KES-CDB) and the later-filed action (Comas v. Warden, Case No. 1:26-cv-05782-KES-CDB) are CONSOLIDATED FOR ALL PURPOSES; (2) The case identified as Comas v. Warden, et al., Case No. 1:26-cv-04387-KES-CDB, will be designated the Lead Case, and all further records and documents filed in this consolidated action shall be filed within the Lead Case (1:26-cv-04387-KES-CDB); (3) appointed counsel for Petitioner (Doc. 9 ) is DIRECTED to file a notice of appearance on behalf of Petitioner in the Lead Case; (4) Petitioner shall have ten days to file any supplemental briefing in opposition to Respondent's pending motion to dismiss in the Lead Case; and (5) the Clerk of the Court is directed to close the member case, Comas v. Warden, Case No. 1:26-cv-05782-KES-CDB. (Deputy Clerk CRB) (Entered: 08/07/2026)
