9 9 2 pgs order 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.
