Before the Court is an action recently transferred from the MDL Court for the United States District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. Plaintiffs Lynne Bloom and Richard Bloom ("Plaintiffs") bring this action against defendants Ethicon Inc. and Johnson & Johnson ("Defendants") regarding the safety and effectiveness of Defendants' pelvic mesh products.

According to the Plaintiffs Civil Cover Sheet, they reside in Kern County, California. Compare Watson v. Dow Corning Corp., 1993 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 6424 (N.D. Cal. May 4, 1993) (finding venue was proper in the Southern District of Alabama where Plaintiff resided and suffered injury of silicon implant leak because of product defect even though product was manufactured in California and implanted in Florida). For these reasons, the Court orders the parties to show cause, in writing not to exceed 15 pages, why this action should not be dismissed or transferred to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of California (the "Eastern District") for the convenience of the parties and witnesses and in the interest of justice. See 28 U.S.C. 1404. To assist the Court in determining whether transfer is appropriate and in the interest of justice, the parties are directed to address the following: (see document for details). The parties' responses to this Order to Show Cause shall be filed by no later than July 10, 2020. Failure to timely and adequately respond to this Order may result in the dismissal or transfer of this action without further warning. (mrgo) [Transferred from cacd on 7/9/2020.]
