MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION
IN RE: SMITH & NEPHEW BIRMINGHAM HIP
RESURFACING (BHR) HIP IMPLANT
PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION
MDL No. 2775
(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)
CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −23)
On April 5, 2017, the Panel transferred 21 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the
District of Maryland for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §
1407. See _F.Supp.3d_ (J.P.M.L. 2017). Since that time, 48 additional action(s) have been
transferred to the District of Maryland. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been
assigned to the Honorable Catherine C. Blake.
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 District of Maryland and assigned to Judge
Blake.
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
District of Maryland for the reasons stated in the order of April 5, 2017, and, with the consent of that
court, assigned to the Honorable Catherine C. Blake.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States
District Court for the District of Maryland. 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.
