Date Filed Document Text
June 26, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 24 ORDER DENYING #23 Motion to Remand: On May 22, 2025, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation issued a conditional transfer order, transferring this action under 28 U.S.C. Sec. 1407 to the Northern District of California for consolidation with MDL No. 2741 In Re: Roundup Products Liability Litigation. The conditional transfer order became effective On May 27, 2025, upon filing with the Clerk of the Northern District of California, depriving this Court of jurisdiction. (Docs. #20 22 ); See JPML Rule 7.1(h). Accordingly, the Court lacks jurisdiction to rule on the Motion to Remand which was filed after the conditional transfer order became effective. The Motion to Remand is therefore DENIED for lack of jurisdiction. Signed by Judge David W. Dugan on 6/26/2025. (dsw)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

May 14, 2025 Opinion or Order Filing 14 ORDER re: #13 Notice of Voluntary Dismissal. Plaintiffs have filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal stating that defendant True Value Company, LLC is dismissed from the case out prejudice and without costs. The Seventh Circuit has indicated that individual parties should be dropped from a lawsuit through an amended complaint. See Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015). Consequently, the Court directs Plaintiffs as follows: Plaintiffs may file an amended complaint in accord with Rule 15(a)(1) (if filing is completed within the time constraints set forth therein). Alternatively, Plaintiffs may file a motion for leave to amend under Rule 15(a)(2). To be clear, the Notice of Voluntary Dismissal has no effect, and True Value Company, LLC will remain a defendant unless and until Plaintiffs file an amended complaint in accord with Rule 15(a)(1), or seek leave to amend in accord with Rule 15(a)(2). Signed by Judge David W. Dugan on 5/14/2025. (dsw)THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.
