FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEBRASKA

POLLARD, ROBERT L. DICKEY, AND
ROYCE D. JANZEN,

Plaintiffs,
ORDER
vs.
MONSANTO COMPANY,
Defendant.
This matter is before the court on several pending motions filed by Defendants.
(Filing Nos. 23, 26, and 39). Upon inquiry by the court, Plaintiff’s counsel stated an
application has been made to the Multi District Litigation (“MDL”) Panel to refer the
“Roundup cases” to a single Judge and consolidate litigation. The MDL Panel will hear
that issue on September 29, 2016. If the MDL Panel determines the various cases should
be consolidated, the court’s rulings in this case will likely be rendered moot.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED:
1)

Further progression of this case is stayed pending the outcome of the
decision of the MDL Panel.

2)

The parties shall promptly inform the court once the MDL Panel has
reached a decision on whether the “Roundup cases” will be consolidated.

Dated this 30th day of August, 2016
BY THE COURT:
s/ Cheryl R. Zwart
United States Magistrate Judge
