On December 8, 2015, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created

21

MDL No. 2672, In Re: Volkswagen “Clean Diesel” Marketing, Sales Practices, and

22

Products Liability Litigation. The Panel’s Transfer Order designated the Northern

23

District of California as the transferee court and the Honorable Charles R. Breyer as

24

the presiding judge for all related matters. See 15-MD-2672-CRB (JSC).

25

This Court now asks the parties if the case at bar involves such common

26

questions of fact with the motions transferred to MDL No. 2672 that transfer to the

27

MDL court in the Northern District of California is now appropriate. Alternatively,

28

parties are to explain why, in the face of any commonalities between this action and

1

those under the MDL, this matter should remain before this Court.

2

Parties are to respond, in writing, to the above questions, including by joint

3

stipulation, by June 30, 2016. A request by Defendant for the Judicial Panel to

4

transfer the case at bar under Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation Rule 7.1(a) will

5

be considered a valid response to this Order.

6

All other dates and deadlines in this action REMAIN on calendar.
