This document relates to:

Jack Backowski, 05-2086 CRB

___________________________________/

CASE NO. 05-1699 CRB

MDL No. 1699 CRB

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO

DISMISS WITHOUT PREJUDICE

Now pending before the Court is the motion of plaintiff Jack Backowski to dismiss his

action without prejudice. After carefully considering plaintiff’s motion and defendants’

opposition, plaintiff’s motion is DENIED. Defendant would be prejudiced if the Court were

to allow plaintiff to abandon his action without prejudice at this stage in the litigation of

plaintiff’s lawsuit. In addition, a dismissal without prejudice would disrupt the orderly

administration of this MDL action and, in particular, the selection of cases for the discovery

pool.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
