For the United States District Court
Eastern District of Missouri

IN RE: GENETICALLY MODIFIED RICE
LITIGATION

MDL No. 1811

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO−53)

On December 19, 2006, the Panel transferred 11 civil action(s) to the United States District Court
for the Eastern District of Missouri for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to
28 U.S.C. §1407. See 466 F.Supp.2d 1351 (J.P.M.L. 2006). Since that time, 385 additional action(s)
have been transferred to the Eastern District of Missouri. With the consent of that court, all such
actions have been assigned to the Honorable Catherine D Perry.
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 Eastern District of Missouri and assigned to
Judge Perry.
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
Eastern District of Missouri for the reasons stated in the order of December 19, 2006, and, with the
consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Catherine D Perry.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri. 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.
