Pursuant to Federal Rule of Bankruptcy Procedure 8011, Appellants Protease Sciences, Inc. ("Protease") and Sonoran Desert Chemicals, L.L.C. ("Sonoran") hereby move to consolidate the appellate briefing in Case Nos. 08-00692 and 08-00693. The facts and legal issues involved in these appeals overlap substantially, and consolidated briefing would promote efficiency and would spare the time and resources of the Court. Consolidated briefing also would permit the filing of a consolidated appendix for both appeals. Accordingly, Protease and Sonoran respectfully request that the appeals in Case Nos. 0800692 and 08-00693 be consolidated, and the parties directed to submit consolidated briefs for those appeals. Respectfully submitted, Dated: May 27, 2008 Squire, Sanders & Dempsey L.L.P. By: /S/ Daniel T. Balmat
