UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT STATES DISTRICT COURT ST MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA D DISTRICT OF GE GEORGIA COLUMBUS DIVISION US DIVISION

On December 3, 2008, the Panel transferred 17 civil actions to the United States District Court for es Court f the Middle District of Georgia for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407. See 588 F.Supp.2d 1374 (J.P.M.L. 2008). Since that time, 13 additional actions have been transferred to the Middle District of Georgia. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable Clay D. Land. It appears that the actions on this conditional transfer order involve questions of fact that are common to the actions previously transferred to the Middle District of Georgia and assigned to Judge Land. Pursuant to Rule 7.4 of the Rules of Procedure of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, 199 F.R.D. 425, 435-36 (2001), these actions are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the Middle District of Georgia for the reasons stated in the order of December 3, 2008, and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Clay D. Land. This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be stayed 15 days from the entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the Panel within this 15-day period, the stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.
