A court of the Northern District of Texas held that consolidation under Rule 42(a) was not warranted where two related insurance coverage actions, though involving the same parties and overlapping issues, concerned different storm events, required distinct factual and expert analyses, and were at materially different stages of litigation such that consolidation would not promote efficiency and could cause delay.
