UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF NORTH CAROLINA WESTERN DIVISION Civil Action No. 4-96-CV-104-BO(3) MARTIN CROMARTIE, et al., Plaintiffs, v. JAMES B. HUNT, JR., in his official capacity as Governor of the State of North Carolina, et al., WITHDRAWAL OF MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE Defendants, and ALFRED SMALLWOOD, et al., N e N r ” S e r N r ? N r ? Ne ne ? N a r ? No ir ? S a t ? a ? S i u ? ” N u e w e : N a t ? S u i N o t , Defendant-Intervenors. NOW COME the defendants by and through counsel, and withdraw their previously filed motion to consolidate. On July 22, 1998, defendants filed a motion seeking to consolidate this action for purposes of trial with Daly v. Leake, C.A. No. 4:97 -CV-750-BO(3). The Cromartie plaintiffs opposed the motion. The Daly plaintiffs, as they have done on several occasions, failed to respond to defendants’ motion and the Court to date has taken no action. The parties in Cromartie have already conferred and proposed a schedule designed to bring this action to trial as quickly as possible, Ha stipulations limiting the issues for trial. Consolidating this action with the Daly action will likely serve to impede the orderly resolution of this action. The parties do not believe the interests of judicial economy will be served by consolidation with the Daly action. WHEREFORE, for the reasons stated, defendants hereby withdraw their motion to consolidate. This the 20th day of July, 1999. MICHAEL F. EASLEY ATTORNEY GENERAL NL Edwin M.
