CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −4)

On June 6, 2014, the Panel transferred 8 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Illinois 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, 40 additional action(s) have been
transferred to the Northern District of Illinois. With the consent of that court, all such actions have
been assigned to the Honorable Matthew F Kennelly.
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 Northern District of Illinois and assigned to
Judge Kennelly.
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
Northern District of Illinois for the reasons stated in the order of June 6, 2014, and, with the consent
of that court, assigned to the Honorable Matthew F Kennelly.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States
District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. 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.
