| Filing 14 MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION Panel (CTO-335) Order transferring case to: Northern District of Texas re: MDL case number: 2244. (AG) |
| Acknowledgment - Transferred case has been opened in the Northern District of Texas as case 3:20-cv-01650, filed on 06/22/2020. (AG) |
Filing 13
ENDORSED ORDER: According to his status report (Doc. #12), Plaintiff anticipates that this matter will be transferred to MDL 2244, In Re: DePuy Orthopaedics, Inc. Pinnacle Hip Implant Products Liability Litigation, and requests that the case be stayed pending transfer to the MDL. A stay pending a consolidation and transfer decision by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation serves the primary purposes of the multidistrict litigation device, which is to "eliminate duplicative discovery; prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings... and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel, and the judiciary." In re Cal. Retail Nat. Gas & Elec. Antitrust Litig., 150 F. Supp. 2d 1383, 1384 (J.P.M.L. 2001). Thus, in the interest of judicial economy, this Court stays this matter until such time as the Panel has dispositively ruled as to whether this case will be transferred to another Court for consolidated multidistrict litigation. In so staying this case, this Court is mindful of its broad discretion over the manner in which it manages the cases before it, Chrysler Int'l Corp. v. Chemaly, 280 F.3d 1358, 1360 (11th Cir. 2002), and finds that the stay is reasonable. The Clerk is directed to stay and administratively close this case, including all pending deadlines, until such time as the Panel has dispositively ruled as to whether this case will be transferred to another court for consolidated multidistrict litigation. Plaintiff is directed to immediately inform the Court when the Panel has made its final ruling. Signed by Judge Virginia M. Hernandez Covington on 5/26/2020. (SGM)
