Matlock, Frederick Pokoy, Linda Privette, Fred Shelton, Alfred Smith and Barbara Woolridge to
show cause, in writing, why their claims should not be dismissed with prejudice as a result of (i)
the Eighth Circuit’s ruling in Bryant v. Medtronic, Inc., 623 F.3d 1200 (8th Cir. 2010), (ii) this
Court’s January 2009 ruling in In re Medtronic, Inc., Sprint Fidelis Leads Products Liability

Complaint on the grounds of preemption, and/or (iii) their failure or refusal to respond after due
inquiry and good-faith diligence by their counsel.
As set forth in the Affidavit of Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel (Docket No. 18), the Order to
