 - 1 - CASE NO. M:05-cv-01699-CRB 

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

IN RE: BEXTRA AND CELEBREX 

MARKETING SALES PRACTICES AND 

PRODUCT LIABILITY LITIGATION 

Case No.: M:05-cv-01699-CRB 

MDL No. 1699

This Document Relates To: 

 ALL CASES. 

ORDER RE: TUTORIAL TRANSCRIPT 

The Court will hold a science tutorial on November 14, 2006. The parties may 

present the “science” in any format they choose and the persons educating the Court will 

not be placed under oath. The proceeding, however, will be transcribed. 

The parties dispute what, if any, use the parties may make of the tutorial transcript 

in later proceedings. After carefully considering the parties’ arguments, the Court, in its 

discretion, chooses to adhere to its regular practice; that is, because the tutorial is an 

informal proceeding designed to educate the Court on the background science, the 

transcript of the tutorial may not be used in any subsequent MDL 1699 proceeding for any 

purpose. 

Date: October 11, 2006 /s/
