GN202344, HONORABLE SUZANNE COVINGTON, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Appellant John McJunkin has filed an unopposed motion to consolidate his appeals in the above case numbers. Appellee filed suit against appellant and one other defendant under trial court cause number GN202344 (our cause number 03-03-0086-CV). Default judgment was entered against appellant, and the default judgment was then severed into trial court cause number GN203382 (our cause number 03- 03-00087-CV). Appellant filed a notice of restricted appeal in both trial court cause numbers. Appellant seeks to have his appeals consolidated because they involve the same parties and identical issues. We grant appellant=s motion and consolidate cause 03-03-00086-CV, the appeal from the original trial court cause number, into cause 03-03-00087-CV, the appeal from the severed default judgment. The record and all pertinent documents from cause 03-03-00086-CV will be transferred into cause 03-03-00087-CV. __________________________________________ W.
