Plaintiff Meghan Holst's motion to consolidate this case with case 623468 is denied. The was not timely filed or served. CCP 1005(b) requires that a motion be filed at least 16 court days before the hearing. It is undisputed that the motion was filed on June 17, 2025 and noticed to be heard on July 10, 2025. Taking into account the two court holidays of Juneteenth and Independence Day, 16 court days prior to July 10, 2025 is June 16, 2025. Therefore, the court has no choice but to sustain defendants' objections to the motion.
