As of March 18, 2008, U.S. District Court judge Reggie Walton ordered the case to be consolidated with ''Estate of Albazzaz, et al. v.

== Background ==
The September 16 Blackwater Baghdad shootings was an unprovoked〔(Iraqi Report Says Blackwater Guards Fired First - New York Times )〕 attack on Iraqi civilians by a number of heavily armed Blackwater personnel, including two Blackwater helicopters. According to numerous conflicting reports, the shooting started after a small car had mistakenly failed to comply with an Iraqi police officer's call to stop, the Blackwater guards then fired on the car, possibly believing it to be a suicide bomber. However, a conflicting report filed by Blackwater,〔(Blackwater Denies Any Wrongdoing in Shooting Incident (Update1) - Bloomberg )〕 the security guards, who were at the time guarding a US State Department convoy, had been fired on first and responded with measured, small arms fire directed specifically at those who had attacked them.
