UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------x
IN RE:
GENERAL MOTORS LLC IGNITION SWITCH LITIGATION
This Document Relates to the Actions in Exhibit A
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------x

14-MD-2543
14-MC-2543
ORDER NO. 170

JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge:
[Regarding the Closure of Certain MDL 2543 Member Cases]
The Court understands that, in many of the member cases in this multidistrict litigation, the
plaintiffs’ claims have already been dismissed (in many instances following settlement, but
occasionally by other means), and there are no open claims remaining. Nevertheless, these cases
still appear to be open, if only as a technical matter, on the Court’s docket. The attached Exhibit A
identifies 52 actions currently open on the Court’s docket in which plaintiffs’ claims have
apparently already been dismissed.
Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is directed close the cases listed in Exhibit A. Any party
who believes that a case has been erroneously closed by this Order shall, no later than June 18,
2020, file a letter motion to re-open the case and explain why the case should remain open. Any
party opposing a motion to re-open one of the cases closed pursuant to this Order shall file a
response brief within 10 days after the motion to re-open is filed. Nothing in this Order shall be
construed as a judgment under Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 54 or 58, nor shall this Order be
construed as re-opening the time for seeking post-judgment relief or filing an appeal.

SO ORDERED.
Dated: June 1, 2020
New York, New York
