CLAYTON A. COOPER, et al. MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE
:

________________________________________________________________________
Now comes Clayton A. Cooper, by and through counsel, and respectfully moves this
Court for an Order consolidating this case with Montgomery County Case No. 2023 CV 05503
currently pending before Judge Richard S. Skelton. This Motion is being made pursuant to Rule
42(A) (1) of the Ohio Rules of Civil Procedure which states:
“If actions before the Court involve a common question of law of fact, the Court may:
(a) join for hearing or trial any and all matters at issue in the actions;
(b) consolidate the actions; or
(c) issue any other orders to avoid unnecessary costs or delay.”
Both Case No. 2023 CV 05503 and Case No. 2023 CV 05524 arise out of an UTV
accident which occurred near midnight on October 15, 2022. There are similar parties and issues
common to both cases. The facts and circumstances arise out of the same accident. Both cases
involve common questions of both law and fact, and judicial economy and consistency would be
served by consolidating these two cases.
