Due to Defendant Merck & Company, Inc.’s intention to seek transfer

of this case to the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, see Doc.

No. 1, the Court finds it inappropriate to convene an Early Neutral

Evaluation Conference at this time. See CivLR 16.1(c) (instructing that

the “judicial officer shall hold [] conferences as he or she deems

appropriate”).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
