CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO 4)

On February 2, 2018, the Panel transferred 75 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for
the Central District of California for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1407. See _F.Supp.3d_ (J.P.M.L. 2018). Since that time, 51 additional action(s) have been
transferred to the Central District of California. With the consent of that court, all such actions have
been assigned to the Honorable Andre Birotte, Jr.
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 Central District of California and assigned to
Judge Birotte.
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
Central District of California for the reasons stated in the order of February 2, 2018, and, with the
consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Andre Birotte, Jr.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States
District Court for the Central District of California. 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.
