We are not detained by Qureshi’s argument that it was required that the Superior Court action and the summary process action be consolidated in the Superior Court. While a judge has discretion to allow a motion to consolidate, none was offered by Qureshi, and, in any event, allowance of such a motion is a matter of discretion. See Fafard v. Lincoln Pharmacy of Milford, Inc., 439 Mass. 512, 517 (2003); Kobayashi v. Orion Ventures, Inc., 42 Mass. App. Ct. 492, 504 (1997). In the instant case, the critical issue of tenant status had *470already been decided and it was sensible to proceed with summary process in the court most familiar with that procedure.
