                  Case    No.    SCV-39888,       Parmar,      LLC    v.   Voyager      Restaurant        Group,     Inc.,     et    al


                -_(“the    Parmar     Action”).        Voyager      notes    that    the.two      cases    both    relate     to   the

                  same    real     property,       a   lease     related       to   operation        of   a   business       at:   the


                 property,        and    possession        of    the    property,        and    that     both     casés      involve


                 overlapping         facts     and   witnesses.           However,       it    should     be    noted     that     the

                 defendants        in    the    current      action      are    not’   parties      to    the    Parmar      Action.

                  Plaintiff      and    cross-defendants          in   the    Parmar     action     aré   not    parties      to   the

                  current     action.         Voyager      also     fails     to   note     that    the     Parmar     action      has

                 already      been     consolidated         with    another      case,     Case     No.    MCV-68268,        Voyager


                 Restaurant       Group,     Inc.   v.   Parmar,     LLC,   a  forcible      detainer      case.




                          Finally,      the    current     case    is   set    for   trial    on   March     19,   2018,     whereas


                 the    Parmar    action     was.only      filed    in  August     2017,    and    is  still     in  the   pleading

                 stage.       Based     upon    the   foregoing,       the   court     finds    that    consolidation         of   .the


                 instant     case    with    the   Parmar    action     is  not   warranted.
