IN RE: PARAGARD IUD PRODUCTS LIABILITY
LITIGATION

MDL No. 2974

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −40)

On December 16, 2020, the Panel transferred 49 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the
Northern District of Georgia for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1407. See 510 F.Supp.3d 1376 (J.P.M.L. 2020). Since that time, 206 additional action(s) have been
transferred to the Northern District of Georgia. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been
assigned to the Honorable Leigh Martin May.
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 Georgia and assigned to Judge May.
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
Georgia for the reasons stated in the order of December 16, 2020, and, with the consent of that court,
assigned to the Honorable Leigh Martin May.
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 Georgia. 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.
