W.D. La. LR 10.2
Consolidated Cases
A motion to consolidate must be filed in the lowest numbered case. The clerk of court will file notice
of the motion in the other cases to ensure notice to all affected parties. A judge assigned to the lowest
numbered case will decide the motion. If consolidation is granted, the clerk of court will transfer
higher number cases to the Article III Judge of the Division having the earliest number, unless the
Court orders otherwise.
The caption of all papers filed after consolidation must bear the caption of the lowest numbered case
in the group and the word consolidated. That caption will continue to identify the consolidated cases
even if the lead case is closed.

Unofficial copy of government-published law, reproduced from official sources with full provenance. Not an official publication; verify against official sources before relying on it in a filing. Records in the 'guidance' corpus, and only that corpus, are sub-regulatory (interpretive guidelines, survey procedures) and are not binding law. Validity bounds follow each jurisdiction's declared temporalBasis.
