CASE NO. 3:16-cv-02364
[PROPOSED] ORDER TRANSFERRING
ACTION TO THE TO THE NORTHERN
DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

Plaintiff,
v.
THE QUAKER OATS COMPANY,

16

Defendant.

17
18

Plaintiff and Defendant have stipulated and agreed that the action should be transferred

19

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) to the United States District Court for the Northern District of

20

Illinois for coordination with two similar actions captioned: Gibson v. The Quaker Oats Company,

21

No. 1:16-cv-04853 (N.D. Ill.) and Wheeler v. The Quaker Oats Company, No. 1:16-cv-05776 (N.D.

22

Ill.), currently proceeding before Judge Charles R. Norgle, Sr.

23

28

All cases allege that certain “100% Natural Whole Grain” labeling for certain Quaker Oat
products is misleading due to the alleged presence of trace amounts of glyphosate.
Coordination of this action with the Gibson and Wheeler actions will likely avoid inconsistent
legal and factual rulings and conserve the courts’ and the parties’ resources.
Transfer of the action to the Northern District of Illinois is therefore appropriate under 28
U.S.C. § 1404(a).
