MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION

IN RE: SYNGENTA AG MIR162 CORN

LITIGATION MDL No. 2591

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −1)

On December 11, 2014, the Panel transferred 8 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for

the District of Kansas for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1407. See _F.Supp.2d_ (J.P.M.L. 2014). Since that time, no additional action(s) have been

transferred to the District of Kansas. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been

assigned to the Honorable John W Lungstrum.

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 District of Kansas and assigned to Judge

Lungstrum.

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

District of Kansas for the reasons stated in the order of December 11, 2014, and, with the consent of

that court, assigned to the Honorable John W Lungstrum.

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

District Court for the District of Kansas. 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.

FOR THE PANEL:

 Jeffery N. Lüthi

Clerk of the Panel
