RULING

DAWKINS, Senior District Judge.

Plaintiffs, Thomas M. O'Donnell and Janice K. Martin, filed separate suits against the United States here under the Federal Tort Claims Act, 28 U.S.C. §§ 2671, et seq., after properly exhausting their administrative remedies. Our jurisdiction is based upon 28 U.S.C. § 1346(b). We consolidated the actions for trial since both involved the same automobile-motorcycle accident.
