LAS VEGAS — A Nevada judge said Monday she’ll hear arguments next month on a bid by dozens of companies to freeze a second wave of licenses for the state’s lucrative marijuana sales market.

Judge Elizabeth Gonzalez told more than a dozen lawyers in Las Vegas she can’t officially consolidate seven lawsuits filed in Clark County District Court, and she has no jurisdiction over two lawsuits filed in Washoe and Lyon counties.

But she oversees two cases, and said she hoped having all or most take part in one hearing on May 24 would avoid duplicating efforts by different judges.
