33 33 4 pgs order Order Fri 01/24 10:56 AM
ORDER. On December 30, 2024, the Court entered an Order directing the plaintiffs identified at Docket Entry 768-1 to show cause within 14 days of the entry of the Order why their cases should not be dismissed with prejudice for failure to comply with the Case Management Orders regarding Plaintiff Fact Sheets. In the majority of the cases, the deficiencies have been cured, Defendants had agreed to an extension of time, or the cases have been dismissed. The Order to Show Cause is therefore MOOT as to those cases (See table). A number of other plaintiffs did not respond to the Order to Show Cause. Those cases are hereby DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE for failure to comply with lawful Orders of the Court (See table). In two cases, the plaintiff's attorney filed a response to the Order to Show Cause, but the Plaintiff Fact Sheet remains incomplete. Those cases are DISMISSED WITHOUT PREJUDICE: 1:21-cv-2423, 1:21-cv-4199. Finally, in six cases, Plaintiffs have filed out-of-time notices that they are now in compliance with the Case Management Orders regarding the Plaintiff Fact Sheets. Defendants are GRANTED leave to file a response within SEVEN DAYS of the entry of this Order regarding the lateness and whether they agree that the Plaintiff Fact Sheets are now in compliance. The Court DEFERS ruling on those cases until that time: 1:24-cv-00339, 1:22-cv-00432, 1:21-cv-00199, 1:21-cv-01793, 1:21-cv-00111, 1:21-cv-02035. Signed by Judge Leigh Martin May on 1/24/2025. (cpp)

ORDER INITIAL CONFERENCE: The Court held its Initial Conference in this MDL on February 9, 2021. The below are the orders entered after discussion of these issues at that conference. 1. Leadership structure: After the Court discussed issues concerning the leadership structure with all parties, the Court ORDERED Plaintiffs and Defendants to each file their proposed consent motion and order as to their requested leadership structure and team within 7 days of the date of this order. 2. Future status conferences: The Court will hold status conferences once a month. The next six conferences will take place on the following dates at 10:00 am via zoom: Tuesday, March 9, 2021; Monday, April 12, 2021; Wednesday, May 12, 2021; Monday, June 14, 2021; Tuesday, July 13, 2021; Friday, August 20, 2021. The Court will send out the zoom links prior to the conferences. The parties will submit a proposed consent agenda 3 business days prior to the conference. The parties will also confer as to the format for presenting issues that require additional explanation. When these are necessary, they should also be filed 3 business days before the conference. 3. Stay of responsive pleading obligations: The Court continues the stay of responsive pleading obligations provided for in Section 6(b) of the Court's initial order. 4. Pending motions: The Court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE all pending motions in the individual cases comprising the MDL. These cases are also ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSED. These terminated motions will later be refiled in accordance with an upcoming Case Management Order. 5. Docketing: All parties are to docket future filings only in the MDL case. The case caption should indicate whether any filing applies to all cases or list the individual cases to which it should apply. 6. Electronic service: The Court ORDERS all attorneys participating in the MDL proceeding to register with the Court's CM/ECF system. Because all attorneys will then receive electronic copies of documents filed in the MDL, the Court ORDERS that electronic service of documents via the Court's CM/ECF system satisfies the obligation of service. Hereafter, unless otherwise ordered, neither the clerk's office nor counsel for the parties shall be obligated to provide service copies of any filings or related orders by U.S. Mail or any other means to attorneys who have not registered with the Court's CM/ECF system. An attorney who is not participating in the MDL and does not want to receive CM/ECF notifications may file a motion to withdraw or a certificate of consent to withdraw in accordance with Local Rule 83.1(E). 7. Initial disclosures: The Court GRANTS the parties' joint request for the Court to excuse the parties from Rule 26(f) initial disclosures; except as to the ParaGard New Drug Application (NDA) that was transferred on or about November 10, 2005, to Duramed Pharmaceuticals, Inc., and produced by TWH, Inc., to plaintiff in the Estrada case. 8. Case management and initial orders: The parties are ORDERED to confer as to proposed orders for the list found herein. See order for further specifics and instructions.
