| 2019-12-26 | | MINUTE ORDER. The Appendix to this Court's 8 General Order and Guidelines for APA Cases provides that "[t]he parties are permitted to modify the schedule for serving their [dispositive motion] filings on each other by consent, and without any Order from this Court." Appendix, 4(a)(i)(3). Indeed, a Court order extending the summary judgment briefing deadlines is only necessary if the proposed changes to the briefing schedule would require an extension of the final filing deadline. See id. 4(a)(ii)(2). Because Plaintiffs have filed consent motions to amend the briefing schedule in a manner that would not require any change to the final filing deadline, no Court approval is needed. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs' 17 , 18 Consent Motions to Modify the Briefing Schedule are DENIED as moot. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 12/26/2019.

| 2020-02-25 | | MINUTE ORDER. Presently pending before this Court are three related cases: Ecological Rights Foundation v. E.P.A., No. 19-cv-3270; Center for Biological Diversity v. E.P.A., No. 19-cv-2198; Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington v. E.P.A., No. 19-cv-2181. The claims in each of these cases concern the same facts and involve several identical legal issues, and the EPA has served motions to dismiss in all three cases. In order to adjudicate the agency's motions in an efficient manner, this Court is inclined to consolidate the three cases. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a)(2) (authorizing a court to consolidate multiple actions when they "involve a common question of law or fact"). Accordingly, the Court is hereby providing notice that, absent any objection, these three cases will be consolidated on March 13, 2020. It is hereby ORDERED that any objection shall be filed on the docket on or before March 10, 2020. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 02/25/2020. (lckbj2) (Entered: 02/25/2020) |

The Clerk is directed to administratively close this case. Signed by Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson on 04/17/2020. (lckbj2) (Entered: 04/17/2020) |
