Petitioners have filed a motion to consolidate these original writ petitions, which real party in interest opposes. The motion to consolidate is therefore denied. Althought the identified cases will not be formally consolidated, the cases will nonetheless be clustered based on any overlapping legal issues to ensure that those issues are resolved in a consistent and efficient manner. 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 08/12/2013 Order/Procedural Filed Order Directing Clerk to Schedule Oral Argument.
