This order summarizes the key points from the April 6, 2016 case management 

conference.

As planned, the motions to strike and/or dismiss the retaliation claims will be heard on 

May 19, 2016 at 1:30 pm. A further case management conference will take place at that time 

also.

A hearing on all motions to transfer will take place June 30, 2016 at 1:30 pm. A further 

case management conference will take place at that time also. The plaintiffs' deadline to respond 

to the motions to transfer that have already been filed is extended to Monday, April 11, 2016. 

The defendants' reply deadline is extended to April 25, 2016. 

For all cases in which initial disclosures have not yet been exchanged, the parties are 

ordered to exchange them by May 4, 2016. In addition, the discovery stay is lifted for all cases.

By this Friday, April 8, 2016, at 4pm, Brian Mildenberg and counsel for the defendants 

are each ordered to file lists in which they rank the all the plaintiffs based on who they believe 

are the best candidates to be in the "bellwether" group. The lists should be presented in the 

format discussed at the case management conference. The parties should anticipate that this 

group will begin going to trial in February 2017, that the last day to hear dispositive motions for 

this group will be in December 2016, and that the fact discovery cutoff for this group will be 

mid-October 2016.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: April 6, 2016
