4th Cir. R. 12(b)
Joint Appeals/Cross-appeals and Consolidations
For the purpose of identifying consolidated appeals and cross-appeals, the earliest docketed
appeal will be designated the lead case and identified by an "L" following its docket number. The
parties should designate lead counsel for each side and communicate lead counsel's identity in
writing to the clerk within 14 days of the consolidation order. Although most consolidations will be
on the Court's own motion, a party is not precluded from filing a request.
