CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO 38)

On October 4, 2016, the Panel transferred 28 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for
the Eastern District of Louisiana for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28
U.S.C. § 1407. See 220 F.Supp.3d 1360 (J.P.M.L. 2016). Since that time, 341 additional action(s)
have been transferred to the Eastern District of Louisiana. With the consent of that court, all such
actions have been assigned to the Honorable Kurt D. Engelhardt.
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 Louisiana and assigned to
Judge Engelhardt.
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 Louisiana for the reasons stated in the order of October 4, 2016, and, with the
consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Kurt D. Engelhardt.
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 Louisiana. 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.
