ORDER
GSK is correct: this Court lacks jurisdiction to act at this point on the
attorney's-fee issues. And Bowerman has not asked for any relief yet. The
Court also agrees that fee issues should be resolved, if necessary, by the MDL.
The Court declines to strike Bowerman's notice, however, because the Court
does not believe its present authority extends beyond deciding that it has no
jurisdiction.
So Ordered.

D.P. Marshall Jr.
United States District Judge
