EAL

LOMBARD, J., DISSENTS WITH REASONS

I dissent from the order of the majority rescinding the January 3, 2020 order

of consolidation of this Court. Because this matter was consolidated when oral

argument was held, the parties were limited to arguing for 30 minutes each. As a

result of the majority’s order to now unconsolidate this matter and reconsolidate it

into four appeals and one writ application, the parties have been precluded from

fully presenting their arguments before the Court on appeal. This result belies

judicial fairness. Therefore, I respectfully dissent from the order of the majority.
