            Timothy W. Buchanan has filed in this court fourteen appeals from a final order of dismissal and severance entered by the trial court on July 14, 2011.  In its order, the trial court dismissed Buchanan’s claims against fourteen of the defendants (appellees herein) sued by Buchanan because none of these fourteen had been served with citation.  The trial court severed the claims against each of the fourteen into a separate cause number so that the order would become final as to each of them.  Because all of these appeals stem from the July 14 order of dismissal, we consolidate these appeals into one cause number for all purposes.  The resulting appeal is styled and numbered:  Timothy W. Buchanan v. John Cline et al., Cause No. 11-11-00205-CV. 

            Cause Nos. 11-11-00206-CV, 11-11-00207-CV, 11-11-00208-CV, 11-11-00209-CV, 11-11-00210-CV, 11-11-00211-CV, 11-11-00212-CV, 11-11-00213-CV, 11-11-00214-CV, 11-11-00215-CV, 11-11-00216-CV, 11-11-00217-CV, and 11-11-00218-CV are hereby consolidated into Cause No. 11-11-00205-CV.
