GREMILLION, Judge.

This matter involves the same parties and the same accident as that in docket

number 11-198, Jackie R. Gonzales v. Shelter Mutual Insurance Company.

Counsel for the Gonzalases filed an unopposed motion to consolidate in which he

verified that the suits were identical and the later matter was filed under the

impression that the earlier suit had not been filed.

Therefore, for the reasons set forth in Gonzales v. Shelter Mutual Insurance

Company, 11-198, (La.App. 3 Cir. / /11), the judgement of the trial court is

affirmed, and all costs of this appeal are taxed to appellants, Jackie R. Gonzales

and Ruby Gonzales.

AFFIRMED.
