ORDER identifying additional cases to be selected for PPO-9 discovery; thirty Arkansas cases and one hundred non-Arkansas cases to proceed with case-specific discovery depositions. Signed by Judge William R. Wilson, Jr on 11/4/08. (mkf)

IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS WESTERN DIVISION IN RE: PREMPRO PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION : : : : MDL DOCKET NO. 4:03-CV-1507-WRW ALL CASES

ORDER Based on the discussions at October 3, 2008 telephone conference, I believe additional cases should be selected for PPO-9 discovery. Accordingly, I have randomly1 picked thirty Arkansas cases and one hundred nonArkansas cases to proceed with case-specific discovery depositions. The parties may take the depositions of the plaintiff(s), spouse(s), treating physician(s), and sales representative(s). When scheduling the depositions, the parties should be careful not to load one firm's wagon with more poles than a mule can pull, i.e., I expect all parties to be reasonable in this regard. Below are additional Arkansas cases and non-Arkansas cases for which case-specific discovery depositions may commence: ARKANSAS CASES 3:05-cv-00151-WRW 4:04-cv-01164-WRW 4:04-cv-02258-WRW 4:04-cv-02259-WRW 4:05-cv-00542-WRW 4:05-cv-00719-WRW 4:05-cv-00733-WRW 4:05-cv-00748-WRW 4:05-cv-00797-WRW

Although I say "randomly," I did consider the age of the cases when they were selected - the older cases were given slightly more weight. 1
