IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF ARKANSAS

WESTERN DIVISION

STATE OF ARKANSAS, ex rel. PLAINTIFF

v. CASE NO. 4:08cv00472

ELI LILLY & COMPANY, INC. DEFENDANT

ORDER

Pending before the court are the motion of defendant Eli Lilly, to stay all proceedings

pending transfer by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation [Doc. # 5], and the motion of

plaintiff State of Arkansas, to remand for lack of subject matter jurisdiction [Doc. # 7]. After careful

review, the court adopts Judge Wilson’s well reasoned March 25, 2008 order in State of Arkansas

ex rel. v. Janssen Pharmaceutica et al., 4:07cv-001210, and grants the plaintiff’s motion to remand

[Doc. #7]. The case is thereby remanded back to the Circuit Court of Pulaski County, Arkansas and

defendant’s motion to stay [Doc. # 5] is denied.

IT IS SO ORDERED this 9th day of July, 2008.
