ORDER

ROY B. DALTON, Jr., District Judge.

This cause is before the Court sua sponte. In a Notice of Pendency of Related Cases (Doc. 19), Defendants advise that this action is related to Sanchez v. Gladstone Law Group, Case No. 14-CV-61070, which the Sanchez Plaintiffs filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida on May 5, 2014 (Sanchez Action). Upon review, the Court determined that the actions are related in that they assert a virtually identical class action claim against Gladstone for its purported violations of 15 U.S.C. § 1692(e)(10). The Court further determined that Gladstone is represented by the same attorneys in this action and in the Sanchez Action, but the counsel for Plaintiffs in the two actions differ. Nonetheless, the Plaintiffs in both actions seek class certification, and it appears that the Plaintiff in this action would be a member of the proposed class in the Sanchez Action, and the Sanchez Plaintiffs would similarly be members of the proposed class in this action. The Sanchez Court had closed the Sanchez Action based on a notice of settlement, but the Sanchez Plaintiffs recently requested that the Sanchez action be reopened. If the motion is granted, then it may be necessary to address whether the actions should proceed separately.

Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that Defendants are DIRECTED to advise the Court when the Sanchez Court resolves the Sanchez Plaintiff's Motion to Reopen and when any other significant events occur in the Sanchez Action.

DONE AND ORDERED.
