January 11, 2019 Opinion or Order Filing 2941 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F.

The deadline for the attorney's response was 1/9/2019, but no response was filed. The Court has confirmed that the order was e-mailed via CMECF to the attorney and thus finds the non-response somewhat surprising. Having noted that the attorney in question is the only attorney of record for the individual plaintiff in the case, the Court is concerned that something may be amiss and thus requests that lead counsel investigate the matter and provide a status report by 1/15/2019, to be filed only in the individual case.

Kennelly: The motion #2600 by plaintiffs' attorneys to withdraw from representation in Case No. 16-cv-1090 (plaintiff Patrick Rex) and Case No. 16-cv-4966 (plaintiff Charles Stokes) is denied without prejudice. The sealed affidavit filed with the motion appears to reflect that plaintiffs have engaged in a continuing failure to prosecute their cases. But previous filings by the same law firm [2563, 2563-1] appear to reflect the opposite. If plaintiffs' attorneys wish to refile their motion to withdraw from representation, they must explain this discrepancy. (mk)

November 16, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 2916 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The motions by plaintiffs' attorneys to withdraw from representation #2545 and #2837 are denied without prejudice. The sealed affidavits filed with the motions appear to reflect that the plaintiffs in the cases identified in the motions have engaged in a continuing failure to prosecute their case or that good cause exists for plaintiffs' counsel's withdrawal. The plaintiffs in the cases identified in the motions are ordered to show cause in writing by 12/7/2018 why their case should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Plaintiffs' counsel are directed to promptly send a copy of this order to all plaintiffs listed on the motions (except for plaintiffs Jeffery Janiga (15 C 11496), Ramona Mendez (16 C 906), and Michael Roberts (15 C 11788)), and to certify to the Court that they have done so. The certification is to be filed in each particular plaintiff's individual case, rather than on the master docket. A separate entry will be made in each particular plaintiff's case repeating the present order. (mk)

October 30, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 2906 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F.

Any attorney who wishes to attend the case management conference and address these or other tooucs in person may do so. There is no practical way, however, to permit persons participating by telephone to speak on the record. (mk)

June 11, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 2715 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has reviewed the parties' submissions regarding prioritization of the AbbVie Trial Group 1 cases (dkt. nos. 2709 & 2710). At this point, given the fact that the cases will all be tried by the undersigned judge and several other judges of this Court over a relatively short period, the Court does not believe it necessary to prioritize them. Assignments of specific cases to particular judges for purposes of trial on the schedule previously set will be made at a later date. The Court nonetheless considers the short summaries provided by AbbVie helpful. In addition, the Court directs the parties to immediately advise the Court, by way of a joint status report, if either side believes that any of the cases in Trial Group 1 is a case that: (a) involves prescription of AndroGel to a patient with a medical condition specifically listed in the label; and/or (b) is subject to an defense applicable to the particular plaintiff, including but not limited to a statute of limitations or statute of repose. (mk)
June 11, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 2714 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Based on the status reports filed by the parties in the cases of Franklin Turner v. AbbVie Inc., No. 1:15-9684, and Leo Kolheim v. AbbVie Inc., No. 1:15-cv-1802 (see dkt. nos. 2698, 2707), the Turner case is removed from the mixed-use bellwether trial case pool, and the Kolheim case is moved from Trial Group 2 to Trial Group 3. With regard to the request for imposition of costs relating to the plaintiff's deposition in the Turner case, the submission (dkt. no. 2698) does not sufficiently support an award of costs as, in effect, a sanction. The plaintiffs' steering committee is directed to provide to the Court and lead defense counsel a revised spreadsheet listing all remaining AbbVie trial cases in their respective groups in light of these revisions. This should be sent to the Court by e-mail to the Court's proposed order e-mail address. (mk)

January 31, 2018 Opinion or Order Filing 2350 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: This entry concerns the case management conference and related meetings set for 2/1/2018. The Court is in the middle of a criminal jury trial and thus will have limited in-court time available on 2/1/2018. For this reason: (1) The monthly settlement meetings will start in chambers at 12:30 PM rather than 1:00 PM. The Court will meet with the PSC and Lilly representatives first and then will have separate meetings with the representatives of the PSC, AbbVie, Auxilium/Endo, and Actavis. The PSC and Lilly representatives should come straight to chambers at 12:30 PM, and all others should be waiting in the courtroom. (2) Following the conclusion of the settlement meetings, if time is available, the Court will hold the usual pre-case management conference meeting with lead counsel and others who wish to be present (to the extent space permits). At this meeting, the Court intends to discuss, informally, scheduling and case management-related matters concerning the CMO 75 and CMO 87 cases and other bellwether trials; CMOs concerning trial demonstratives and supplementation of expert reports; issues regarding the monthly dismissal lists (items 1a, 1c, 1d, and 1e on the agenda for the case management conference). (3) The Court does not intend to hear argument on any of the discovery-related motions in the Medical Mutual case (items 2a, 2b, and 2c) and will separately set briefing schedules on the two recently-filed motions that have not yet been briefed. (4) The Court will not have time to hear argument on the Konrad case at the conference but reserves the right to set it for brief argument sometime next week. The Court also advises that if it ends up granting a new trial on some or all claims in the Konrad case, it reserves the right to substitute that case for the Mitchell case in the March 7 trial slot. (5) Counsel should be prepared to address in open court agenda items 1b (subject matter jurisdiction issues), 1e (Besins), and 1g (other matters that have come to counsel's attention), as well as any of the above-listed items to be discussed at the pre-conference meeting that merit discussion in open court.
