(MDL Docket No. 1535)
JUDGE O’MALLEY
MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
There are currently a number of plaintiffs who have not adhered to certain case management
requirements that this Court has imposed on all Welding Fume cases. As the Court explained in its Order
on the master docket dated March 25, 2011, these requirements apply equally to all cases, whether the
plaintiff is represented by counsel or is proceeding pro se.
Accordingly, the Court makes clear that the following plaintiffs must file the required documents
listed within the deadlines set out below.1 If the plaintiff fails to file the required documents by the
applicable deadlines, his case will be dismissed for want of prosecution. Plaintiff’s Liaison Counsel2 will:
(1) attempt to ensure this information is received by the plaintiffs listed below; and (2) assist any pro se
plaintiff who seeks explanation.
The Court ORDERS the clerk of courts to docket this Order on the master docket and also on each
individual case docket.
1
The deadlines listed are simply the next ones required. The Court may later issue other Orders
requiring each plaintiff to meet other necessary deadlines.
2
Plaintiff’s Liaison Counsel, Lisa Gorshe, may be reached at 877-621-1228, or 216-621-8484.
