FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KAREN KNAUER, ET AL.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

BAYER CORPORATION, ET AL.,

Defendants. /

No. C 09-05387 JSW

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

STAY

Now before the Court is Defendant Bayer Corporation’s (“Bayer”) motion to stay these

proceedings pending transfer of this action to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation

(“MDL”) action No. 2100, In re Yasmin and YAZ (Drospirenone) Marketing, Sales Practices

and Products Liability Litigation. The Court finds the present motion appropriate for decision

without oral argument and hereby VACATES the hearing set for January 29, 2010. See N.D.

Civ. L.R. 7-1(b). 

Having considered the parties’ pleadings and the relevant legal authority, the Court

concludes that a limited stay of these proceedings, pending transfer to the MDL, would further

judicial economy and efficiency. Accordingly, the Court hereby GRANTS Bayer’s motion to

stay. All pending dates and deadlines are hereby vacated.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: January 15, 2010
