`
`LEWIS J. LIMAN, United States District Judge:
`
`
`These cases have both been assigned to the Court due to their relatedness. The Court has
`scheduled a hearing on an application for a temporary restraining order in 20-cv-10645 for
`Wednesday, December 23 at 5:00 p.m.
`
`For convenience, expedition, and judicial economy, the Court intends to consolidate the
`two cases into a single action. See Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 42(a)(2); Johnson v. Celotex
`Corp., 899 F.2d 1281, 1284–85 (2d. Cir 1990) (noting that district courts have “broad discretion
`to determine whether consolidation is appropriate” and that “courts have taken the view that
`considerations of judicial economy favor consolidation”); Garber v. Randell, 477 F.2d 711, 714
`(2d Cir. 1973) (“[C]onsolidation of stockholders’ suits during pretrial stages pursuant to [Rule
`42] may benefit both the court and the parties by expediting pretrial proceedings, avoiding
`duplication and harassment of parties and witnesses, and minimizing expenditure of time and
`money by all persons concerned.”).
`
`IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that, by December 28, at 5:00 p.m., any party objecting to
`consolidation shall file a letter on ECF, not to exceed two pages, explaining why the cases should
`not be consolidated for all purposes.
`
`
`
`SO ORDERED.
`
`
