Minute Entry for proceedings held before Judge Victor A. Bolden: Telephonic Status Conference and Motion hearing held on 7/9/2018. Granting 33 Oral motion to Consolidate cases. Total Time: 0 hours and 15 minutes (Court Reporter S. Montini.) (McDonough, S.) Modified on 7/10/2018 to include ruling on oral motion (Perez, J.). (Entered: 07/09/2018)

ORAL MOTION to Consolidate Cases. Motion for case to be consolidated with 18-cv-1110 filed by J. S. R. (McDonough, S.) (Entered: 07/09/2018)

ORDER granting 31 Motion for Leave to File Law Student Appearance. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 7/9/2018. (McDonough, S.) (Entered: 07/09/2018)

ORDER granting 33 Motion to Consolidate Cases. Plaintiff in V.F.B. v. Sessions, No. 3:18-cv-1110 has moved orally to consolidate that case with J.S.R. v. Sessions, No. 3:18-cv-1106. There is no objection. The Court finds that these two cases involve "common question[s] of law or fact," see Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a), relating to the same government policy of separating minor children from their asylum-seeking or migrant parents, as reflected in Plaintiffs' Motion for Temporary Restraining Order or Preliminary Injunction and the supporting memorandum of law. ECF No. 17. The Court therefore grants the motion to consolidate the cases. See R.W. Grand Lodge of Free & Accepted Masons of Pennsylvania v. Meridian Capital Partners, Inc., 634 Fed. App'x 4, 6 (2d Cir. 2015) ("A party moving for consolidation 'must bear the burden of showing the commonality of factual and legal issues in different actions, and a district court must examine the special underlying facts with close attention before ordering a consolidation.'")(quoting In re Repetitive Stress Injury Litig., 11 F.3d 368, 373 (2d Cir. 1993)). The new caption will be J.S.R. and V.F.B. v. Sessions, No. 3:18-cv-1106. The Court will also consolidate the two hearings currently scheduled for Wednesday, July 11, 2018. The Court will hear argument in the consolidated case, No. 3:18-cv-1106, at 11:30 a.m. on July 11, 2018. To the extent that the parties believe that consolidation requires modification of the Court's Order granting in part and denying in part the motion for writ of habeas corpus ad testificandum, the parties should submit a request to modify that Order as needed. Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 7/9/2018. (McDonough, S.) (Entered: 07/09/2018)

ORDER: Plaintiffs' Complaint, ECF No. 1, states that Plaintiffs are represented by and through their next friend, Joshua Perry. Compl. at 1-2. At the July 11th preliminary injunction hearing, Mr. Perry's status as "next friend" to Plaintiffs should be more fully addressed. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 17(c)(2) ("A minor or an incompetent person who does not have a duly appointed representative may sue by a next friend or by a guardian ad litem. The court must appoint a guardian ad litem--or issue another appropriate order--to protect a minor or incompetent person who is unrepresented in an action."). Signed by Judge Victor A. Bolden on 7/9/2018. (McDonough, S.) (Entered: 07/09/2018)
