In re: DIAL COMPLETE MARKETING AND SALES PRACTICES LITIGATION
(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)
CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO-1)
On August 18, 2011, the Panel transferred 10 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407. See ____ F.Supp.2d ____ (J.P.M.L. 2011). Since that time, no additional action(s) have been transferred to the District of New Hampshire. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable Steven J McAuliffe.
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 District of New Hampshire and assigned to Judge McAuliffe.
Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. §1407 to the District of New Hampshire for the reasons stated in the order of August 18, 2011, and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Steven J McAuliffe.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the District of New Hampshire. 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.
FOR THE PANEL:
Jeffery N. Lüthi
Clerk of the Panel
