September 26, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 36 ORDER The Motion by Ethicon, Inc., Johnson & Johnson to Compel Discovery or, in the Alternative, to Exclude Certain Opinion Testimony filed in MDL 2327 is GRANTED, in part, and DENIED, in part; Plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED to collect and produce to the defendants certain information set forth herein pertaining to the article entitled "Oxidation and Degradation of Polypropylene Transvaginal Mesh," relied upon by Dr. Guelcher; With respect to Defendants' motion that they be permitted to take a supplemental deposition of Dr. Guelcher to question him about the raw data, the motion is DENIED. Furthermore, Defendants' motion to preclude Dr. Guelcher from offering opinions or testimony based upon the above-mentioned article is likewise DENIED, as it is moot. Signed by Magistrate Judge Cheryl A. Eifert on 9/26/2017. (cc: attys) (REF: MDL 2327; Wave 5 Cases) (pma) [Transferred from West Virginia Southern on 10/31/2019.]
September 13, 2017 Opinion or Order Filing 35 PRETRIAL ORDER #270 (ORDER RE: STIPULATIONS EXTENDING DISCOVERY) After a cursory review of many individual cases in the Ethicon MDL, the court notes that the parties have attempted to stipulate a change in the court's Docket Control Orders setting deadlines for discovery. The parties cannot extend court ordered discovery deadlines past the date set for completion of discovery without approval from the court. Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 29(b); see Fed. R. Civ. P. Rule 16(b)(4). Here, the parties are repeatedly attempting to stipulate to delay the completion of discovery, which affects other deadlines in the Docket Control Orders, such as the deadline for filing dispositive motions and the deadline for filing Daubert motions. Under Local Rule 16.1(f)(3), the court is not required to, nor does it, recognize stipulations purporting to extend the discovery deadlines past the close of discovery. See LR Civ. P. 16.1(f)(3). Therefore, all such stipulations filed in the Ethicon MDL which are inconsistent with Local Rule 16.1(f)(3) are INEFFECTUAL and VOID. Such stipulations undermine the policy goals of the MDL, including convenience of the parties, efficiency of the pretrial proceedings, and consistency on related issues. The parties are DIRECTED to cease filing such stipulations purporting to extend the discovery deadlines contrary to Local Rule 16.1(f)(3). When the parties seek an extension of discovery deadlines past the date set for the completion of discovery in the Docket Control Order, they must do so by motion in the individual case. The Docket Control Orders are plain that the only discovery permitted after the close of discovery are depositions of the plaintiff's friends and family members, and only if such depositions are requested before the discovery deadline. Those orders remain unaffected. Modifications of the discovery schedule may be considered, for good cause shown. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); see, e.g., PTO #251 at A.2.f. Good cause does not include mere agreement of the parties. Signed by Judge Joseph R. Goodwin on 9/13/2017.
