Wyeth, Inc., Wyeth Pharmaceuticals Inc., and
Pfizer, Inc.,
Defendants.
On April 9, 2012, the Court ordered the parties to file briefs that address whether this
action should be transferred to another district pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) (2006) (amended

responded that the action should be transferred pursuant to § 1404(a) to the United States District
Court for the District of Oregon. Defendants stated that they “will not oppose transfer of this
action to Plaintiffs’ home district, the District of Oregon, but preserve their objections to
transfer.” Accordingly, the Court transfers this action to the District of Oregon pursuant to
§ 1404(a).
Based on the files, records, and proceedings herein, and for the reasons stated above, IT
IS ORDERED THAT:
1.

This action is transferred to the United States District Court for the District
of Oregon for further proceedings.

2.

The Clerk of Court is directed to effect the transfer.
