MOTION TO CONSOLIDATE TRIALS OF RELATED OFFENSES


(Section 22, Rule 119, Rules of Criminal Procedure)

The ACCUSED, Nerissa Paz Tabhan Montealto, by the undersigned


counsel, respectfully moves to consolidate the trials of the instant criminal case
with the related criminal case now pending in Branch 8 of this Court, under Hon.

CR and entitled “People vs. Nerissa Paz Tabhan Montealto” for Slight Physical

pending in Branch 8 of this Court, involve the same parties with intertwined issues
and subject matters and are both at the trial stage, particularly at the initial
presentation of evidence for the prosecution.

WHEREFORE, it is respectfully prayed that the two cases be consolidated


in the Municipal Trial Court In Cities Branch 8, Cebu City to avoid unnecessary
costs or delay and to serve the best interests of the parties and to settle
expeditiously the issues involved.
