10. S-CV-0056216 Schlein, Brian v. Pacheco-Zepeda, Luis Alberto
Motion to Consolidate
Brian Schlein moves to consolidate S-CV-0053572 (previously consolidated with S-CV- 0054679) with S-CV-0056216.
The court may order consolidation of actions involving a common question of law or fact. (Code Civ. Proc., § 1048, subd. (a).) Here, both matters involve the same motor vehicle collision on May 25, 2024 and overlapping (but not identical) parties. There are common questions of law and fact between these two actions. However, the parties have filed a notice of settlement of entire case in S-CV-0053572 indicating a request for dismissal would be filed following a petition for approval of compromise of claim of a minor. As it appears one of these actions has in substance resolved and the other has not, the distinct procedural postures of these actions do not lend themselves towards consolidation. The motion to consolidate is denied.
