IN RE: DEPUY ORTHOPAEDICS, INC. 

PINNACLE HIP IMPLANT PRODUCTS 

LIABILITY LITIGATION

THIS DOCUMENT 

RELATES TO: ALL CASES

Case No. 3:15-mc-80259-JSC

ORDER RE: RESPONSE TO 

NOVEMBER 23, 2015 MDL ORDER 

Now pending before the Court is the motion of non-parties Cardno Chemrisk, LLC and 

Dennis J. Paustenbach for a protective order. (Dkt. No. 1.) One issue is whether this Court should 

transfer the motion to the MDL court over the non-parties’ objection. On November 23, 2015, 

Plaintiffs filed a proposed order to the MDL court relevant to this question. (Dkt. No. 10.) 

Plaintiffs are directed to notify the Court in writing when the MDL court acts on the proposed 

order. If the non-parties wish to respond to this proposed order before the MDL court rules upon 

it, they shall do so on or before December 2, 2015. If they do not respond by that date, the Court 

will not take any action on the motion for a protective order until the MDL court rules. Once the 

MDL court makes its decision on the proposed order, the non-parties may file a response within 

three business days of the mdl court’s ruling if they have not already done so.
