(Failure To Comply With PFS Obligations)
HERNDON, Chief Judge:
This matter is before the Court on the Bayer defendants’ motion,
pursuant to Case Management Order 12 (“CMO 12”) 18 for an order of dismissal,
without prejudice, of the plaintiffs’ claims in the above captioned cases for
failure to comply with Plaintiff Fact Sheet (“PFS”) obligations.
Under Section C of CMO 12, each plaintiff is required to serve defendants
with a completed PFS, including a signed declaration, executed record release
authorizations, and copies of all documents subject to the requests for
production contained in the PFS which are in the possession of plaintiff.
Section B of CMO 12 further provides that a completed PFS is due “45 days
from the date of service of the first answer to her Complaint or the docketing of
her case in this MDL, or 45 days from the date of this Order, whichever is
later.”
Accordingly, the plaintiffs in the above-captioned matters were to have
served completed PFSs roughly one year ago, in August or September 2013.
Per Section E of CMO 12, Notice of Overdue Discovery was sent on November
18, 2013.
As of the filing of Bayer’s motion to dismiss, Bayer still had not
received completed PFS materials from the plaintiffs in the above-captioned
matters and the plaintiffs’ PFS materials are overdue by twelve months.
The parties negotiated and agreed to CMO 12, which expressly provides that the discovery
required of plaintiffs is not objectionable. CMO 12 § A(2).

4
Under Section E of CMO 12, the above listed plaintiffs were given 14
days from the date of Bayer’s motion to file a response either certifying that
they served upon defendants and defendants received a completed PFS, and
attaching appropriate documentation of receipt or an opposition to defendant’s
motion.
To date, none of the above listed plaintiffs filed responses.
Accordingly, THE COURT ORDERS AS FOLLOWS:
As to the above listed plaintiffs, the motion to dismiss is GRANTED. The
claims of the above listed plaintiffs are hereby dismissed without
prejudice.
FURTHER, The Court reminds the above listed plaintiffs that,
pursuant to CMO 12 Section E, unless they serve the defendants with a
COMPLETED PFS or moves to vacate the dismissal without prejudice
within 60 days after entry of this Order, the Order will be converted to a
Dismissal With Prejudice upon defendants’ motion.
So Ordered:
