Consolidation or Transfer of Related Cases. If a related case is pending before another
United States District Judge, the government or defendant must move for consolidation before, or

may be filed in either of the cases with proper notice of the motion in the related case. Upon
execution of the order, the Clerk of Court shall re-assign the latter case to the judge presiding in
the lowest case number, unless otherwise set forth in the order.
