MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
SAFFELS, District Judge.

This action has been brought against the City of Topeka and various police officers and supervisors. Plaintiffs have filed an identical civil action in the Shawnee County, Kansas, District Court. Defendants object to defending identical lawsuits in different courts, and are concerned about the prospects of encountering inconsistent results in the two cases.
