Civ. P. 	42(a)(2). 	Case 	No. 	3:23-cv-230-DPM 	remains 	the lead case. All
future 	filings 	should 	be made 	in 	that 	case.
2. 	For 	good 	cause, 	the 	Court 	also 	grants 	the 	defendants' 	joint
unopposed 	motion 	for 	more 	time 	to 	answer or 	respond, 	Doc. 150, 	as
modified. The 	Court 	reopens 	and extends defendants' 	time 	to 	answer
or 	respond 	to 	23 	December 	2025. 	Rather 	than 	re-doing 	all the 	briefing
in 	the 	main case, 	the 	parties 	may 	incorporate 	pending 	briefs 	and
supplement 	their 	arguments 	as 	they 	think 	best, 	most 	efficient, and 	most
clear.
So 	Ordered.
