ORDER1

Before the Court is Respondent’s Unopposed Motion to Consolidate (Doc. 15). Respondent asks to consolidate this action with another pending case— 2826 Cleveland Avenue Operations, LLC v. 1199SEIU, United Healthcare Workers E., Fla. Region, No. 2:21-cv-245-SPC-MRM (M.D. Fla.)—for the sake of convenience and judicial economy. Since the Motion is unopposed and the cases share a common nucleus of facts, the Court finds good cause to consolidate. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a); Local Rule 1.07(b); Hendrix v. Raybestos- Manhattan, Inc., 776 F.2d 1492, 1495 (11th Cir. 1985).
