Order
Fri 10/06 9:20 AM
ORDER: All Plaintiffs in this MDL are required to provide Plaintiff Fact Sheets (PFS) to Defendants as part of their discovery obligations. After the deadline for filing these fact sheets expired, the Court entered a show cause order on June 15, 2023, asking certain Plaintiffs to show cause why their cases should not be dismissed for failure to comply with this Courts order relating to these PFS. Dkt. No. 517 . The Court also heard argument from counsel on August 23, 2023, as to how the various responses to this show cause order should be treated. The Court ruled based on the categories of the various responses and asked counsel to prepare a list of the cases that fall within these categories. The parties have now provided a consent list of the cases that fall within the Court's categories. This list is attached as Exhibit A to this order and is divided by category of response. Referencing Exhibit A, the Court rules as follows: 1. Category 1 consists of Plaintiffs who failed to respond to the Courts show cause order. Category 2 contains Plaintiffs who agree dismissals are warranted. Category 3 contains Plaintiffs with deficiencies in their PFS that will not be cured. Category 4 contains Plaintiffs where counsel has lost contact with Plaintiff, and counsel agrees they failed to comply with the Court's order. The cases for Plaintiffs in these categories are DISMISSED WITH PREJUDICE. 2. Category 5 consists of Plaintiffs who seek an extension of time to file a PFS. The Court ORDERS that these Plaintiffs have 21 days from the date of this order to file a Plaintiff Fact Sheet. If they fail to comply, their cases will be dismissed with prejudice. 3. Category 6 consists of Plaintiffs who filed a PFS after entry of the Courts show cause order. The Court accepts these late-filed PFS and finds that the show cause order as to these Plaintiffs has been satisfied. Signed by Judge Leigh Martin May on 10/05/2023.

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.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: This case has been assigned to the calendar of the Honorable John Robert Blakey. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In addition, the parties must file a status report no later than 4/29/2021, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Failure by any party to file the status report by the requisite deadline (either jointly or, if necessary, individually with an explanation as to why a joint report could not be filed) may result in a summary dismissal of the case for failure to prosecute, or an entry of default against any served defendant(s) failing to comply with this order. During the litigation, the attorneys must also appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Gloria Lewis, at (312) 818-6699. If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. Mailed notice (gel, ) [Transferred from Illinois Northern on 3/23/2021.]
