This Court has jurisdiction over each of the named plaintiffs, UFCW Local 1500 Welfare Fund and Law Enforcement Health Benefits, Inc. (collectively the "End-Payor Plaintiffs" or "EPPs") and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Novaitis AG ( collectively "Novartis"), and jurisdiction over the litigation to which End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novaitis are parties. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(l)(B) and 23(g), the Court having considered the factors provided in Rule 23(g)(l)(A), the Court appoints DiCello Levitt LLC as lead counsel, having previously appointed that firm as interim lead counsel on March 25, 2022. ECF No. 503. The Court finds that the proposed settlement, which includes a cash payment of $30,000,000 by Novartis into an escrow account for the benefit of the Class (the "Settlement Fund") in exchange for, inter alia, dismissal of the litigation between End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novartis with prejudice and releases of certain claims against Novartis by End-Payor Plaintiffs and the Class, as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, was arrived at by arm's-length negotiations by highly experienced counsel after years of litigation and a mediation led by experienced mediator Eric D. Green, falls within the range of possibly approvable settlements, and is hereby preliminarily approved, subject to further consideration at the Fairness Hearing provided for below. The Court appoints Angeion Group, LLC to serve as claims administrator and to assist Class Counsel in disseminating the Notice. All expenses incurred by the claims administrator must be reasonable, are subject to Court approval, and shall be payable solely from the Settlement Fund. Angeion shall submit reports to the Court regarding the administration of the Settlement on the following schedule: The Court appoints Huntington National Bank to serve as Escrow Agent for the purpose of administering the escrow account holding the Settlement Fund. All expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent must be reasonable, are subject to Court approval, and shall be payable solely from the Settlement Fund. A copy of the Escrow Agreement executed by Huntington National Bank and Class Counsel is annexed as Exhibit D to the Settlement Agreement. The Court approves the establishment of the Settlement Fund under the Settlement Agreement as a qualified settlement fund ("QSF") pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 468B and the A hearing on final approval (the "Fairness Hearing") shall be held before this Court at 10:30 a.m. on October 3, 2023, at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street, Courtroom 14D, New York, NY 10007-1312. At the Fairness Hearing, the Court will consider, inter alia: (a) the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement and whether the Settlement should be finally approved; (b) whether the Court should approve the proposed plan of distribution of the Settlement Fund among Class members; ( c) whether the Court should approve awards of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses to Class Counsel; ( d) whether service awards should be awarded to the End-Payor Plaintiffs; and ( e) whether entry of a Final Judgment and Order terminating the litigation between End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novartis should be entered. The Fairness Hearing may be rescheduled or continued; in this event, the Court will furnish all counsel with appropriate notice. Class Counsel shall be responsible for communicating any such notice promptly to the Class by posting a conspicuous notice on The Settlement website, www.exforgeantitrustsettlement.com. All proceedings in the action between the End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novartis are hereby stayed until such time as the Court renders a final decision regarding the approval of the Settlement and, if the Court approves the Settlement, enters Final Judgment and dismisses such actions with prejudice. Neither this Order, nor the Settlement Agreement, nor any other Settlement-related document, nor anything contained herein or therein or contemplated hereby or thereby, nor any proceedings undertaken in accordance with the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement or herein or in any other Settlement-related document, shall constitute, be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession by Novartis as to the validity of any claim that has been or could have been asserted by End-Payor Plaintiffs against Novartis or as to any liability by Novartis as to any matter set forth in this Order, or as to whether any class, in this case or others, may be certified for purposes of litigation and trial.

September 9, 2021	Filing 367 ORDER REGULATING MOTIONS BEFORE TRIAL: I respond to the parties' suggestions in their joint letter of September 3, 2021. I rule as follows: Plaintiff's suggestion of Daubert motions only with respect to class certification motions will create additional work and engage the court in resolving unnecessary disputes regarding the substance and consequences of experts' testimony and declarations. The suggestions of both parties favoring simultaneous Daubert and Class and Summary Judgment motions also are denied. I favor the following sequence following the close of expert depositions on December 31, 2021: a. Submission of any and all Daubert motions as to all expert's declarations and testimony. I would like these motions to be decided by the end of February. The parties shall propose filing dates consistent with that schedule. b. Plaintiffs to file motions for certification of classes. I would like to have these decided by the end of April, plus another week for regulating the terms of the proposed notices. c.

January 27, 2021	Filing 337 ORDER REGULATING PROCEEDINGS: I have received the parties' joint letter of January 26, 2021. See ECF No. 336. My rulings as to the disputed issues are as follow: 1. I expect that all remaining issues relating to data will be resolved by February 19, 2021. 2. There will be no interrogatories or requests for admission prior to the exchanges of expert reports. It is highly likely that contention interrogatories, rather than enlighten, will become causes for disputes, delays, and unnecessary expenses. The parties should have elicited from the discovery already had the information they need to know to prepare for trial and their experts need to know in order to prepare their reports, and as further set forth in this order. 3. A round of expert reports, one for each side, is sufficient to give each side sufficient notice of the other side's experts. The reports are not themselves evidentiary. 4. Plaintiffs' expert reports will be due by March 30, 2021, and Defendants' expert reports will be due by May 7, 2021.

January 15, 2021	Filing 324 ORDER REGULATING PROCEEDINGS. Defendants will advise Plaintiffs by January 21, 2021, if they are able to make the appropriate good-faith representation. If Defendants are unable to do so, Plaintiffs may take the three depositions. Plaintiffs ask for another set of witnesses to explain data that has been produced and to assure that full production has been made. Defendants, by the same date, will represent that full production has been made, and develop a plan, with Plaintiffs, for meetings of experts to assure full understanding of the data. If depositions are necessary, leave of the court is required. Plaintiffs and Defendants shall represent to each other, on that same date, which witnesses if any, not yet deposed, whom they believe will be trial witnesses. Depositions shall be limited to those witnesses, and a schedule of depositions shall be prepared to submit to the Court for approval. If, because of future proceedings, a party desires to call an undeposed witness at trial, the other may apply to take depositions of such witnesses. In addition to the purposes described above, the parties also shall set dates for exchanges of experts reports and, if desired, depositions of experts. Plaintiffs shall record all decisions made and, with the consent (or objections of Defendants described on the same document), submit the same to me for approval, on January 22, 2021, or as soon thereafter as possible. The parties also shall discuss at which point settlement discussions might be appropriate, as agreed by all parties, and report to me the consensus of the parties. Finally, the parties shall recommend a date for the next status conference, to plan future proceedings and a trial date. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 1/15/21) (yv)

November 30, 2020	Filing 310 JOINT LETTER addressed to Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein from Dan Litvin dated November 30, 2020 re: The Court's November 12, 2020 Order concerning depositions (ECF No. 309). Document filed by Drogueria Betances, LLC..(Litvin, Dan)
November 12, 2020	Filing 309 ORDER denying #287 Motion to CompelPlaintiffs Rule 37 motion is denied without prejudice to pursuing fact depositions of witnesses. The highly particularized, contention-loaded descriptions of subject matters as to which defendants are called upon to offer admissions (by way of identifying witnesses) are inappropriate. Defendants object to most of them, arguing that they invade privilege, reveal positions to be taken at trial before decisions have to be made, and anticipate what experts might say. Plaintiffs counter that if defendants object, they then should be precluded as to all these subjects from offering evidence at trial.I have instructed plaintiffs numerous times to take depositions. Plaintiffs 30(b)(6) notice is not designed to take depositions. Depositions are intended to elicit facts from witnesses, not to pose gotcha interrogatories, or prematurely seek admissions, or advance the dates of experts disclosures. Privilege is asserted to a question seeking to elicit a fact told to a lawyer to obtain advice, or to a line of such questions, or to the opinions given by the lawyer, or to the work product of a lawyer. The court is not able, on plaintiffs 30(b)(6) notice, to rule on what questions, or lines of questions, or exhibits, may be objectionable on privilege grounds, and what should be the preclusive effect of failing to answer a question, or produce a document, or to make an admission. The court will rule on privilege on the basis of specific questions (or lines of questions) that are not answered because of privilege.Plaintiffs should know, from interrogatory answers, who at Novartis had responsibilities for the deal with Par, and all relevant documents on which to question such witnesses. Plaintiff also can take depositions of the relevant persons at Par, also on the basis of documents subpoenaed, or which can be subpoenaed, from Par. Instead, the prosecution of this case has been delayed by countless and needless disputes over discovery issues.Accordingly, I rule as follows:1. Plaintiffs motion is denied without prejudice to taking depositions of witnesses.2.Plaintiff shall schedule depositions at the rate of two depositions per week, beginning the week beginning November 30, 2020, until 15 witness depositions are taken, inclusive of the depositions already taken (if any) pursuant to the stipulation and order of August 3, 2020 (ECF 270). Defendants may take depositions on one day of the week not taken by plaintiff. Depositions shall not be taken the weeks beginning December 21 and 28, 2020.3.The status conference scheduled for January 27, 2021 at 2:30 pm shall proceed as scheduled, and will serve as a report on depositions taken and to be taken, and opportunity to revise, and expand or contract the schedule above, and on proceedings that remain.

This Court has jurisdiction over each of the named plaintiffs, UFCW Local 1500 Welfare Fund and Law Enforcement Health Benefits, Inc. (collectively the "End-Payor Plaintiffs" or "EPPs") and Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation and Novaitis AG ( collectively "Novartis"), and jurisdiction over the litigation to which End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novaitis are parties. Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(c)(l)(B) and 23(g), the Court having considered the factors provided in Rule 23(g)(l)(A), the Court appoints DiCello Levitt LLC as lead counsel, having previously appointed that firm as interim lead counsel on March 25, 2022.

The Court finds that the proposed settlement, which includes a cash payment of $30,000,000 by Novartis into an escrow account for the benefit of the Class (the "Settlement Fund") in exchange for, inter alia, dismissal of the litigation between End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novartis with prejudice and releases of certain claims against Novartis by End-Payor Plaintiffs and the Class, as set forth in the Settlement Agreement, was arrived at by arm's-length negotiations by highly experienced counsel after years of litigation and a mediation led by experienced mediator Eric D. Green, falls within the range of possibly approvable settlements, and is hereby preliminarily approved, subject to further consideration at the Fairness Hearing provided for below. The Court appoints Angeion Group, LLC to serve as claims administrator and to assist Class Counsel in disseminating the Notice. All expenses incurred by the claims administrator must be reasonable, are subject to Court approval, and shall be payable solely from the Settlement Fund. Angeion shall submit reports to the Court regarding the administration of the Settlement on the following schedule: The Court appoints Huntington National Bank to serve as Escrow Agent for the purpose of administering the escrow account holding the Settlement Fund. All expenses incurred by the Escrow Agent must be reasonable, are subject to Court approval, and shall be payable solely from the Settlement Fund. A copy of the Escrow Agreement executed by Huntington National Bank and Class Counsel is annexed as Exhibit D to the Settlement Agreement. The Court approves the establishment of the Settlement Fund under the Settlement Agreement as a qualified settlement fund ("QSF") pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 468B and the A hearing on final approval (the "Fairness Hearing") shall be held before this Court at 10:30 a.m. on October 3, 2023, at the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, 500 Pearl Street, Courtroom 14D, New York, NY 10007-1312. At the Fairness Hearing, the Court will consider, inter alia: (a) the fairness, reasonableness and adequacy of the Settlement and whether the Settlement should be finally approved; (b) whether the Court should approve the proposed plan of distribution of the Settlement Fund among Class members; ( c) whether the Court should approve awards of attorneys' fees and reimbursement of expenses to Class Counsel; ( d) whether service awards should be awarded to the End-Payor Plaintiffs; and ( e) whether entry of a Final Judgment and Order terminating the litigation between End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novartis should be entered. The Fairness Hearing may be rescheduled or continued; in this event, the Court will furnish all counsel with appropriate notice. Class Counsel shall be responsible for communicating any such notice promptly to the Class by posting a conspicuous notice on The Settlement website, www.exforgeantitrustsettlement.com. All proceedings in the action between the End-Payor Plaintiffs and Novartis are hereby stayed until such time as the Court renders a final decision regarding the approval of the Settlement and, if the Court approves the Settlement, enters Final Judgment and dismisses such actions with prejudice. Neither this Order, nor the Settlement Agreement, nor any other Settlement-related document, nor anything contained herein or therein or contemplated hereby or thereby, nor any proceedings undertaken in accordance with the terms set forth in the Settlement Agreement or herein or in any other Settlement-related document, shall constitute, be construed as or be deemed to be evidence of or an admission or concession by Novartis as to the validity of any claim that has been or could have been asserted by End-Payor Plaintiffs against Novartis or as to any liability by Novartis as to any matter set forth in this Order, or as to whether any class, in this case or others, may be certified for purposes of litigation and trial.

September 9, 2021

Filing 367 ORDER REGULATING MOTIONS BEFORE TRIAL: I respond to the parties' suggestions in their joint letter of September 3, 2021. I rule as follows: Plaintiff's suggestion of Daubert motions only with respect to class certification motions will create additional work and engage the court in resolving unnecessary disputes regarding the substance and consequences of experts' testimony and declarations. The suggestions of both parties favoring simultaneous Daubert and Class and Summary Judgment motions also are denied. I favor the following sequence following the close of expert depositions on December 31, 2021: a. Submission of any and all Daubert motions as to all expert's declarations and testimony. I would like these motions to be decided by the end of February. The parties shall propose filing dates consistent with that schedule. b. Plaintiffs to file motions for certification of classes. I would like to have these decided by the end of April, plus another week for regulating the terms of the proposed notices. c. Summary Judgment motions to be filed with three briefing dates: filing, oppositions and replies. I would like to decide these by the end of July 2022. d. Trial to begin November 7, 2022 with five weeks allotted. Final Pre-Trial Conference to take place October 27, 2022 at 2:00 pm. Motions in limine will be decided at or before the conference, with briefing to contemplate submissions of all briefs one week before the conference. If this schedule is practical, the parties shall submit consistent details for an order. SO ORDERED., ( Deposition due by 12/31/2021., Ready for Trial by 11/7/2022., Final Pretrial Conference set for 10/27/2022 at 02:00 PM before Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein.) (Signed by Judge Alvin K.

Filing 337 ORDER REGULATING PROCEEDINGS: I have received the parties' joint letter of January 26, 2021. See ECF No. 336. My rulings as to the disputed issues are as follow: 1. I expect that all remaining issues relating to data will be resolved by February 19, 2021. 2. There will be no interrogatories or requests for admission prior to the exchanges of expert reports. It is highly likely that contention interrogatories, rather than enlighten, will become causes for disputes, delays, and unnecessary expenses. The parties should have elicited from the discovery already had the information they need to know to prepare for trial and their experts need to know in order to prepare their reports, and as further set forth in this order. 3. A round of expert reports, one for each side, is sufficient to give each side sufficient notice of the other side's experts. The reports are not themselves evidentiary. 4. Plaintiffs' expert reports will be due by March 30, 2021, and Defendants' expert reports will be due by May 7, 2021. The parties are hereby ordered to appear for a status conference on May 25, 2021, at 2:30 p.m. 5. The parties shall jointly submit an agenda on May 20, 2021. The agenda may include suggestions for setting expert depositions, settlement possibilities, class certification, and any other topic any party wishes to raise.

Filing 324 ORDER REGULATING PROCEEDINGS. Defendants will advise Plaintiffs by January 21, 2021, if they are able to make the appropriate good-faith representation. If Defendants are unable to do so, Plaintiffs may take the three depositions. Plaintiffs ask for another set of witnesses to explain data that has been produced and to assure that full production has been made. Defendants, by the same date, will represent that full production has been made, and develop a plan, with Plaintiffs, for meetings of experts to assure full understanding of the data. If depositions are necessary, leave of the court is required. Plaintiffs and Defendants shall represent to each other, on that same date, which witnesses if any, not yet deposed, whom they believe will be trial witnesses. Depositions shall be limited to those witnesses, and a schedule of depositions shall be prepared to submit to the Court for approval. If, because of future proceedings, a party desires to call an undeposed witness at trial, the other may apply to take depositions of such witnesses. In addition to the purposes described above, the parties also shall set dates for exchanges of experts reports and, if desired, depositions of experts. Plaintiffs shall record all decisions made and, with the consent (or objections of Defendants described on the same document), submit the same to me for approval, on January 22, 2021, or as soon thereafter as possible. The parties also shall discuss at which point settlement discussions might be appropriate, as agreed by all parties, and report to me the consensus of the parties. Finally, the parties shall recommend a date for the next status conference, to plan future proceedings and a trial date. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 1/15/21) (yv)

November 12, 2020

Filing 309 ORDER denying #287 Motion to CompelPlaintiffs Rule 37 motion is denied without prejudice to pursuing fact depositions of witnesses. The highly particularized, contention-loaded descriptions of subject matters as to which defendants are called upon to offer admissions (by way of identifying witnesses) are inappropriate. Defendants object to most of them, arguing that they invade privilege, reveal positions to be taken at trial before decisions have to be made, and anticipate what experts might say. Plaintiffs counter that if defendants object, they then should be precluded as to all these subjects from offering evidence at trial.I have instructed plaintiffs numerous times to take depositions. Plaintiffs 30(b)(6) notice is not designed to take depositions. Depositions are intended to elicit facts from witnesses, not to pose gotcha interrogatories, or prematurely seek admissions, or advance the dates of experts disclosures. Privilege is asserted to a question seeking to elicit a fact told to a lawyer to obtain advice, or to a line of such questions, or to the opinions given by the lawyer, or to the work product of a lawyer. The court is not able, on plaintiffs 30(b)(6) notice, to rule on what questions, or lines of questions, or exhibits, may be objectionable on privilege grounds, and what should be the preclusive effect of failing to answer a question, or produce a document, or to make an admission. The court will rule on privilege on the basis of specific questions (or lines of questions) that are not answered because of privilege.Plaintiffs should know, from interrogatory answers, who at Novartis had responsibilities for the deal with Par, and all relevant documents on which to question such witnesses. Plaintiff also can take depositions of the relevant persons at Par, also on the basis of documents subpoenaed, or which can be subpoenaed, from Par. Instead, the prosecution of this case has been delayed by countless and needless disputes over discovery issues.Accordingly, I rule as follows:1. Plaintiffs motion is denied without prejudice to taking depositions of witnesses.2.Plaintiff shall schedule depositions at the rate of two depositions per week, beginning the week beginning November 30, 2020, until 15 witness depositions are taken, inclusive of the depositions already taken (if any) pursuant to the stipulation and order of August 3, 2020 (ECF 270). Defendants may take depositions on one day of the week not taken by plaintiff. Depositions shall not be taken the weeks beginning December 21 and 28, 2020.3.The status conference scheduled for January 27, 2021 at 2:30 pm shall proceed as scheduled, and will serve as a report on depositions taken and to be taken, and opportunity to revise, and expand or contract the schedule above, and on proceedings that remain.

Accordingly, Novartis shall produce documents concerning revenues, quantities sold, prices charged per unit, profits, direct expenses, per year amortization of development costs, and useful life of AGs launched between January 1, 2010 and March 31, 2015.

With respect to Request No. 13, the relatively narrow scope of the inquiry justifies larger timeframe.

Filing 164 ORDER DENYING MOTION TO COMPEL. Plaintiffs move for an order compelling non- party Mylan Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Mylan") to produce various documents. Mylan's May 24, 2019 production of 35,000 documents, identified in its May 31, 2019 memorandum in opposition to plaintiffs' motion, is sufficient. Further custodial searches and additional manufacturing discovery are disproportional, unduly burdensome, and, thus, unwarranted at this juncture. To the extent that plaintiffs seek to compel further production, their motion is denied. Plaintiffs have leave to renew their motion upon a further showing that this production is insufficient. The clerk is instructed to terminate the motion (ECF 156). So ordered. Denying #156 Motion to Compel in case 1:18-cv-04361-AKH. (Signed by Judge Alvin K. Hellerstein on 6/6/2019).
