CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO -213)

On December 10, 1997, the Panel transferred 9 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to
28 U.S.C. § 1407. See 990 F.Supp. 834 (J.P.M.L. 1998) See Amended Transfer Order filed- 1/6/98
(J.P.M.L. 1997). Since that time, 9,737 additional action(s) have been transferred to the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the
Honorable Harvey Bartle, III.
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 Pennsylvania and assigned to
Judge Bartle.
Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multi district
Liti~ation, the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania for the reasons stated in the order of December 10, 1997, and, with
the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Harvey Bartle, III.
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 Pennsylvania. 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.

Inasmuch as no objection is
pending at this time, the
stay is lifted.
