IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

EASTERN DIVISION

JAMES C. BISHOP and

BETTY ANN BISHOP PLAINTIFFS

vs. 2:07-CV-00098-WRW

JOHNSON & JOHNSON HEALTH

CARE SYSTEMS, INC, et al DEFENDANTS

ORDER

Pending is Plaintiffs’ Motion to Stay All Proceedings in this Court Pending JPML

Transfer Determination (Doc. No. 19). Defendants have responded (Doc. Nos. 23, 24).

Based on the issues outlined in Defendants’ responses -- specifically regarding the

possible statute of limitations issues -- and Rule 1.5 of the Rules of Procedure of the Judicial

Panel on Multidistrict Litigation,1

 I see no reason why discovery in this case should not proceed

while awaiting a decision from the JPML.

Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ Motion to Stay All Proceedings in this Court Pending JPML

Transfer Determination (Doc. No. 19) is DENIED.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 19th day of June, 2008.
