ORDER GRANTING

DEFENDANTS’ EX PARTE

MOTION TO FILE

SUPPLEMENTAL AUTHORITY IN

SUPPORT OF DEFENDANTS’

MOTION TO DISMISS [doc. #49]

Defendants seek to file supplemental authority in support of their motion to dismiss. 

(Doc. 46.) Specifically, Defendants wish to supplement the record with an April 19, 2012

decision of the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey. Young v. Johnson &

Johnson, No. 11-2580 (NJD April 19, 2012). Plaintiff opposes the ex parte motion because the

Young case is not binding, is out-of-circuit, and designated “not for publication.”

The Court finds that Defendants show good cause here for supplementing the record with

the Young case notwithstanding its limited value for this Court’s consideration of the issues

raised here.
