UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL

on

MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION

IN RE: ZIMMER NEXGEN KNEE IMPLANT

PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION MDL No. 2272

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −303)

On August 8, 2011, the Panel transferred 18 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the

Northern District of Illinois for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28

U.S.C. § 1407. See 802 F.Supp.2d 1374 (J.P.M.L. 2011). Since that time, 1,508 additional action(s)

have been transferred to the Northern District of Illinois. With the consent of that court, all such

actions have been assigned to the Honorable Rebecca R Pallmeyer.

It appears that the action(s) on this conditional transfer order involve questions of fact that are

common to the actions previously transferred to the Northern District of Illinois and assigned to

Judge Pallmeyer.

Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict

Litigation, the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the

Northern District of Illinois for the reasons stated in the order of August 8, 2011, and, with the

consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Rebecca R Pallmeyer.

This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States

District Court for the Northern District of Illinois. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be

stayed 7 days from the entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the

Panel within this 7−day period, the stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.
