MDL No. 2226

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO−17)

On August 16, 2011, the Panel transferred 17 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Kentucky for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28
U.S.C. §1407. See 780 F.Supp.2d 1379 (J.P.M.L. 2011). Since that time, 137 additional action(s)
have been transferred to the Eastern District of Kentucky. With the consent of that court, all such
actions have been assigned to the Honorable Danny C Reeves.
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 Kentucky and assigned to
Judge Reeves.
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 Kentucky for the reasons stated in the order of August 16, 2011, and, with the
consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Danny C Reeves.
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 Kentucky. 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.
