            The parties have filed in this court a joint motion to consolidate and for a joint briefing schedule.  The motion is granted in part. 

Although we recognize that these appeals are companion cases stemming from a challenge to the same agency order and were heard concurrently by the trial court, we will not consolidate them into one case number at this time.  Separate records have already been filed in this court in these appeals.  We do, however, grant the parties’ request for a joint briefing schedule and will allow the parties to file any future documents jointly in this court if the parties so desire.  The appellants’ briefs are due for filing in this court on or before May 18, 2012.

 

                                                                                                PER CURIAM
