ORDER RESCHEDULING HEARING
AND CASE MANAGEMENT
CONFERENCE

20
The above cases have all been related by this Court. Currently pending in each case is a
motion to remand filed by Plaintiffs and a motion to stay filed by Bristol-Myers.
21
1.
Given the similarity in issues raised by the various motions, the Court deems it
22
prudent to hear all of the motions on the same date.1 Accordingly, the Court hereby vacates the
23
October 26, 2012 hearing date in Cases Nos. C-12-4477 EMC and C-12-4478 EMC. The motions to
24
remand and stay in these two cases shall be heard instead on November 30, 2012, at 1:30 p.m., i.e.,
25
the date on which the motions to remand and stay shall be heard in the remaining cases identified
26
above.

The case management conference for Case Nos. C-12-4477 EMC and C-12-4478
EMC shall remain on November 30, 2012, but shall be moved back from 9:00 a.m. to 1:30 p.m.
3.
A case management conference for the remaining cases identified above shall also be
set for November 30, 2012, at 1:30 p.m.
4.
For each of the cases, a joint case management conference statement shall be filed by
6
November 23, 2012. If possible, the Court would prefer one “omnibus” statement from the parties,
7
rather than having to read ten different statements for the ten different cases. In the statement(s), the
8
parties should address how the litigation should proceed in light of Bristol-Myers’s recently filed
9
motion to transfer and consolidate with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. The parties
should also discuss, to the best of their knowledge, the length of time it is likely to take for the
11
For the Northern District of California
United States District Court
10
Judicial Panel to rule on Bristol-Myers’s motion.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
