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.
