CASE NO. 12-32710 07

DON BEVERLY, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
Vv.
TD BANK, N.A., et al,,
Defendants.
/
PLAINTIFFS' MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE FOR DISCOVERY
PURPOSES, AND SUPPORTING MEMORANDUM
Plaintiffs move, with the agreement among all Plaintiffs’ counsel, to consolidate this
action with the following actions, for discovery purposes:
* Deborah Marlin, Trustee et al. v. TD Bank, et al., Broward Co. Circuit Court
Case No. 13-6202 (07);
* Gayla Sue Levin v. TD Bank, et al., Broward Co. Circuit Court Case no. 12-35089
(07);
* George G. Levin y. T.D. Bank, N.A., et al., Broward Co. Circuit Court Case no.
12-35407 (07); and
* Platinum Partners Value Arbitrage Fund, L.P., et al. v. TD Bank, N.A., Broward
Co. Circuit Court Case no. 12-23947 (07).
Fla. R. Civ. P. 1.270(a) provides:
When actions involving a common question of law or fact are pending before the
court, it may order a joint hearing or trial of any or all the matters in issue in the
actions; it may order all the actions consolidated; and it may make such orders
concerning proceedings therein as may tend to avoid unnecessary costs or delay.
As these five actions are all pending before this Court and involve the same common
questions of law and fact, this Court may consolidate under Rule 1.270, certainly for discoverypurposes. In all of five of the cases sought to be consolidated, Plaintiffs seek damages for losses
sustained as a direct result of the Defendants’ participation in the Rothstein Ponzi Scheme. All
of the complaints assert claims for aiding and abetting fraud and conspiracy to commit fraud, and
the factual allegations are similar. All of the cases will seek similar discovery directly from TD
Bank and its officers and agents.
Consolidation is generally granted for discovery purposes in circumstances like those
here. In Pages v. Dominguez, 652 So. 2d 864, 869 (Fla. 4th DCA 1995), the court concluded,
“we would recommend that both cases be transferred to the same judge and, at a minimum,
consolidated for discovery on liability issues. We agree that it makes no sense for either side to
face potentially inconsistent discovery rulings [or] duplicative discovery....”
The cases sought be consolidated are progressing on similar discovery tracks, and
discovery to be taken in the cases is similar. No depositions have been taken in any of the cases.
The Court has already indicated that at least one of these cases will be set for trial during the first
quarter of 2014 and the other cases for the second quarter of 2014. Consolidation will advance
the likelihood that that schedule can be met, and aid in the efficient disposition of all of the cases.
CONCLUSION
For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court enter an order
consolidating the aforementioned five actions for discovery purposes. The Parties have agreed to
continue to discuss this issue, so as to resolve as much as possible prior to the May 17" hearing.CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE
