No. 17); 6:15-cv-638 (Doc. No. 18); 6:15-cv-639 (Doc. Nos. 23, 24); 6:15-cv-620 (Doc. No. 17); 6:15-cv-643 (Doc. No. 17); 6:15-cv-652 (Doc. Nos. 17, 18); 6:15-cv-640 (Doc. No. 14); 6:15-cv-650 (Doc.

No objections to the R&R have been presented for consideration within the prescribed time period for such objections. Therefore, the Court adopts the Report and Recommendation of the United States Magistrate Judge as the findings of this Court.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED that the following motions be DENIED: (6:15-cv-618 (Doc. No. 13); 6:15-cv-619 (Doc. No. 13); 6:15-cv-622 (Doc. No. 13); 6:15-cv-627 (Doc. No. 13); 6:15-cv-630 (Doc. No. 14); 6:15-cv-633 (Doc. Nos. 20, 22); 6:15-cv-634 (Doc. No. 17);2 6:15-cv-637 (Doc. No. 17); 6:15-cv-638 (Doc. No. 18); 6:15-cv-639 (Doc. Nos. 23, 24); 6:15-cv-620 (Doc. No. 17); 6:15-cv-643 (Doc. No. 17); 6:15-cv-652 (Doc. Nos. 17, 18); 6:15-cv-640 (Doc. No. 14); 6:15-cv-650 (Doc. No. 19); 6:15-cv-653 (Doc. No. 15); 6:15-cv-641 (Doc. No. 13); 6:15-cv-642 (Doc. No. 17)). The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate these motions in the referenced member cases.

Given that these matters have been consolidated, for the convenience of the Court and the parties, Plaintiff shall file a single amended complaint with unmodified allegations as to all Defendants in the lead case within 14 days of the issuance of this Order. Defendants shall then respond to that Complaint. The Court cautions Defendants to exercise sound discretion in responding to future pleadings. The Court does not expect that it will receive numerous additional piecemeal motions to dismiss where, at this stage, Defendants have not answered or otherwise responded to several of Plaintiff’s allegations.
