13 13 (UNCERTIFIED) TRANSFER ORDER, MDL 2741, Signed by Karen K. Caldwell, Chair of the Panel Before the Panel: Plaintiffs in the three actions listed on Schedule A move under Panel Rule 7.1 to vacate our orders that conditionally transferred these actions to the Northern District of California for inclusion in MDL No. 2741. Defendant Monsanto Company opposes the motions. Therefore, after considering the parties' arguments, we find that the actions listed on Schedule A involve common questions of fact with the actions transferred to MDL No. 2741, and that transfer under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of the litigation. In our order centralizing this litigation, we held that the Northern District of California was an appropriate Section 1407 forum for actions sharing factual questions arising out of allegations that Monsanto's Roundup herbicide, particularly its active ingredient, glyphosate, causes non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. See In re Roundup Prods. Liab. Litig. , 214 F. Supp. 3d 1346, 1348 (J.P.M.L. 2016). All of the actions listed on Schedule A share multiple factual issues with the cases already in the MDL. IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions listed on Schedule A are transferred to the Northern District of California and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Vince Chhabria for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings.
