ORDER 

The Court appreciates the parties' proposed Final Scheduling 

Order, Ng 92, and the notice about other cases remaining in the MDL. 

The Court intends to enter the Order with these changes. The Court will 

hold motions hearings 13-15 October 2020 and 17-19 November 2020. 

(After reflection, the Court has concluded that counsel's suggestion of 

two settings is better than the one the Court proposed.) And the trial 

settings will start in February 2021, instead of January. The Court will 

schedule cases first and second out for trial every other month. The 

Court's Final Scheduling Order will include pretrial deadlines for each 

month's cases. Sixty days out, the Court will release the second case, if 

necessary. (Please send the current draft Order to chambers in Word 

so that the Court can finish it up.) The Court has also written Judge 

Miller about the four other cases that may be coming. The Court hopes 

to receive them, and partly consolidate them for similar handling with 

all the others, soon. 

So Ordered.
