Case Number: NC060536??? Hearing Date: May 31, 2016??? Dept: S27
Plaintiff Diosdado Valondo, Jr. moves to consolidate cases 16F00804 and 16F00806 into the case before this Court, NC060536.
Plaintiff does not identify the parties to the other cases, much less demonstrate that all cases arise from the same nucleus of facts or that judicial economy would be served by consolidation.
16F00804 and 16F00806 are actions for unlawful detainer. The issue in unlawful detainer is the right to Plaintiff’s immediate possession. Case NC060536 seeks to determine title to the property, an issue distinct from the right to possession. Unlawful detainer is a summary proceeding which should not be delayed for the time it takes to bring a general jurisdiction case to trial, absent extraordinary facts.
The motion is denied.
