Electronic Clerk's Notes for proceedings held before Chief Judge F. Dennis Saylor, IV: Status Conference held on 2/24/2021. 1) The Court heard updates on the current total of federal and state filings. 2) The Court heard updates on discovery. Plaintiffs counsel stated that they were not expecting any further disclosures from Novartis unless it has further communications with the FDA. Novartis informed plaintiffs counsel that it had not heard anything further from the FDA on its proposed labeling changes. 3) The Court set a briefing schedule on 2084 GSKs Motion for Summary Judgment Based on Plaintiffs Failure to Provide Admissible Causation Evidence as to Septal Defects and Other Heart Defects. Plaintiffs opposition brief is due on March 5, 2021, and GSKs reply, if any, must be filed by March 12. The Court will hear argument on the motion at the next status conference on March. 4) A colloquy was held on 2079 GSKs Motion for Order to Show Cause. The Court took the matter under advisement. 5) The Court informed the parties that it would review 45 the Courts order to show cause in Ratliff v. GSK, 20-cv-10047; 31 the Courts order to show cause in Roland v. GSK, 20-cv-10901; and 19 GSKs motion for order to show cause in Nelson v. GSK, 20-cv-11210. 6) The Court informed the parties of the difficulties of scheduling a trial date due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

21 21 minutes Status Conference Mon 09/21 4:29 PM

Dennis Saylor, IV: Status Conference held on 9/14/2020. 1) The Court heard updates on the current total of federal and state filings. 2) The Court heard updates on discovery regarding supplemental disclosures from Novartis and GSK related to recent changes to Zofran's labeling. GSK anticipates providing written objections to Plaintiffs interrogatories and Plaintiffs anticipate filing a motion to compel. 3) The Court heard updates on supplemental expert depositions. The Court postponed the deadline for Dr. Abdulla's deposition to December 1, 2020 and directed that the deposition be done remotely. 4) The Court heard arguments on extending Dr. Louik's deposition from two to three hours. The Court treated GSK's request as a motion to modify the previous order and denied it. The Court stated that for all depositions conducted remotely, time spent on technical or organizational issues should be disregarded for purposes of time restrictions. 5) A colloquy was held on 1974 Plaintiff's Response to GSK's Supplemental Memorandum in Support of its Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment Based on Federal Preemption and 1977 GSK's Supplemental Reply in Support of its Renewed Motion for Summary Judgment Based on Federal Preemption. The Court stated that the preemption issue is ripe for determination and that it would rule on the issue. 6) A colloquy was held on the 16 GSK's Motion for Order to Show Cause in Roland , 20-cv-10901, and 18 Plaintiff's Counsel Motion to Withdraw as Attorney. The Court took the matter under advisement. 7) A colloquy was held on scheduling a new trial date in the Rodriguez case while taking into consideration the difficulties posed by the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. The Court advised the parties that, pending developments in other trials scheduled to begin shortly, it will aim to set a trial date by early October, with a trial likely to begin in January or February of 2021. 8) The Court set a status conference for October 5, 2020, at 10:00 am. This conference shall be conducted by video conference. The clerk shall post video conference information on the docket via a separate entry.
