After reviewing the pleadings on file including the parties' joint status reports [Dkts. 25, 39] and conducting a telephonic hearing on December 29, 2022 [Dkt. 41], the special master recommends transferring this case for further proceedings because this case is in the process of completing discovery and ready to be set for trial; consequently, the case would no longer benefit from inclusion in the coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings before this Court. Further, the special master recommends transferring the case to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania pursuant to the recommendation in the parties' joint status report [Dkt. 38]. The following motions are currently pending in this case: Motion to Strike [Dkt. 26]; Motions to Exclude [Dkts. 28, 29, 30]; Motion for Partial Summary Judgment [Dkt. 32]; and Motions in Limine [Dkts. 35, 36, 37]. Because ruling on these motions will directly impact the claims, defenses, and presentation and admissibility of evidence at trial, the special master recommends this Court defer ruling on these motions to permit consideration by the transferee court which will have responsibility for putting the case on trial. filed by Special Master (Stanton, James) [Transferred from Texas Northern on 1/3/2023.]
