CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO-83)
On October 1, 2009, the Panel transferred 32 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the Southern District of Illinois for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C, §1407. See 655 F.Supp.2d 1343 (J.P.M.L. 2009). Since that time, 843 additional action(s) have been transferred to the Southern District of Illinois. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable David R Herndon.
