EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS RICHARD SHEPPARD ARNOLD UNITED STATES COURTHOUSE 500 W. CAPITOL, ROOM D444 LITTLE ROCK, ARKANSAS 72201-3325 [phone] Facsimile [phone]

November 20, 2009 Mr. Erik Brett Walker Hissey, Kientz & Herron, P.L.L.C. 9442 Capital of Texas Highway North, Suite 420 Austin, TX 78759 Mr. F. Lane Heard , III Williams & Connolly 725 Twelfth Street, N.W. Washington, DC 20005-5901 Re: Gentlemen: After our hearing this morning during which you both addressed me on various issues, this is on my mind -- what is to be done with the non-PPO 9 cases? More specifically, what about the non-Wyeth, non-Pfizer cases? What about the cases that involve injuries other than breast cancer? I believe PPO-9 cases constitute 10% or less of all the MDL cases transferred to me. I solicit suggestions from each of you by 5 p.m., Friday, December 4, 2009; and I will welcome suggestions from any counsel of record in these cases. Cordially, /s/ Wm. R. Wilson, Jr. In re Prempro, 4:03-CV-01507-WRW Follow-up Question from Status Conference
