IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

In re:

PREMPRO PRODUCTS LIABILITY

LITIGATION

§

§

§

§

MDL Docket No. 4:03-cv-1507 WRW

 ORDER

The Court recently issued orders dropping Plaintiffs in the multi-plaintiff cases identified

in Exhibit A to this Order. The severance orders allowed the severed plaintiffs 30 days to re-file

their complaints. Additionally, for the application of statutes of limitations, laches, or other

time-bar laws, the new complaints would be deemed to relate back to the date that the original,

multi-plaintiff complaints were filed. 

Some plaintiffs filing new lawsuits named Wyeth, Inc., the Wyeth entity they named

before. Wyeth has indicated that Wyeth, Inc. no longer exists but that a new entity, Wyeth LLC

exists. Based on the agreement of the parties at the March 19, 2010, Status Conference, the

severance orders in the cases listed in Exhibit A are modified as follows: Any dropped plaintiffs

in the cases identified in Exhibit A who filed lawsuits in compliance with the order dropping

plaintiffs may, within 30 days of the date of this Order, file amended complaints, or motions for

leave to file amended complaints, to modify the newly filed complaints solely to add Wyeth LLC

as a defendant. The filing date of such amended complaints will be deemed to relate back to the

date that the original, multi-plaintiff complaints were filed for the application of statutes of

limitations, laches, or other time-bar laws. 

IT IS SO ORDERED this 29th day of March, 2010.
