Rule 5. Consolidation
(b) Lowest Case Number. If the court consolidates two or more cases, the first-filed case number will be the controlling case number, and the clerk must file all further filings under that number only. Unless the court orders otherwise, consolidation is for all purposes and not only for conducting a hearing or trial.
(c) Duplicate Pleadings. If the court consolidates cases in which a party in one case has filed a petition that substantially responds to an opposing party's petition in another case, the party's petition will be treated as a response to the opposing party's petition, unless the court orders a further response.
