IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LISA BAIN, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

 v.

ASTRAZENECA LP, ASTRAZENECA

PHARMACEUTICALS LP and MCKESSON

CORPORATION,

Defendants. /

No. 09-4147 CW

ORDER RELATING

CASES 

Plaintiffs Lisa Bain, et al.; Defendants AstraZeneca LP,

AstraZeneca Pharmaceuticals LP and McKesson Corporation; and

plaintiffs in sixteen other actions in the Northern District of

California have filed a Motion for Administrative Relief Requesting

Single Assignment of Seroquel Cases. They assert that their cases,

four of which are already assigned to the undersigned, are

sufficiently related and that the interests of justice and judicial

efficiency warrant the assignment of these cases to a single judge. 

The parties have filed a stipulation reflecting their agreement to

single assignment, and no opposition has been lodged against their

motion. The Court construes the parties’ motion as an

administrative motion to consider whether cases should be related.
