in both cases, failed to include the captions of each case sought to be consolidated, and fails to list the iowest numbered case as the proposed lead case. Also, the earlier case, Superior Court Case No. 10-238961,has already gone through a motion to bifurcate the issues of Quiet Title from all other causes of action and has set trial for
December T7,2Al2 in Superior Court Department 7. Further, Robert J. Fletcher is the Attorney of record for Nicklas Hoftnan and Nickol Gerritsma in this Quiet Title action and is not a parfy thereto, but has been misjoined as a
named party defendant by the Gillespies in Superior court case
