REAGAN, District Judge:
By Order entered October 7, 2013, the Court granted a motion to coordinate -- for
purposes of discovery and pretrial proceedings – the above-captioned case and two
closely related lawsuits, Ehlers v. Pfizer, Case No. 13-cv-0468-JPG-SCW, and Conner v.
Pfizer, Case No. 13-cv-0635-JPG-DGW. By Orders entered October 8, 2013, Ehlers and
Conner were reassigned to the undersigned District Judge and Magistrate Judge
Wilkerson. (The three cases have not been consolidated into a single action. Filings will
continue to be made in individual lawsuits, with the appropriate caption and party
names.)
Two of the cases already had been tracked as a “C” – Hines and Conner. By eOrder entered October 8, 2013 in 13-cv-0468, Ehlers likewise was designated a Track C
case.

Judge Wilkerson will enter an appropriate Scheduling Discovery Order (with

discovery and dispositive motion deadlines) in these three cases, using the firm trial
