UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL on MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION

IN RE: ZIMMER M/L TAPER HIP PROSTHESIS OR M/L TAPER HIP PROSTHESIS WITH KINECTIV TECHNOLOGY AND VERSYS FEMORAL HEAD PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION MDL No. 2859

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO -19)

On October 3, 2018, the Panel transferred 19 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407. See 340 F.Supp.3d 1379 (J.P.M.L. 2018). Since that time, 44 additional action(s) have been transferred to the Southern District of New York. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable Paul A. Crotty. It appears that the action(s) on this conditional transfer order involve questions of fact that are common to the actions previously transferred to the Southern District of New York and assigned to Judge Crotty. Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Litigation, the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the Southern District of New York for the reasons stated in the order of October 3, 2018, and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Paul A. Crotty. This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be stayed 7 days from the entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the Panel within this 7-day period, the stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.
