CLERK, U.S. DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −3)

On February 18, 2014, the Panel transferred 42 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for
the District of South Carolina for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28
U.S.C. §1407. See _F.Supp.2d_ (J.P.M.L. 2014). Since that time, 161 additional action(s) have been
transferred to the District of South Carolina. With the consent of that court, all such actions have
been assigned to the Honorable Richard M Gergel.
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 District of South Carolina and assigned to Judge
Gergel.
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
District of South Carolina for the reasons stated in the order of February 18, 2014, and, with the
consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Richard M Gergel.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States
District Court for the District of South Carolina. 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.

FOR THE PANEL:
