UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL

on

MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION

IN RE: ETHICON, INC., PELVIC REPAIR

SYSTEM PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION MDL No. 2327

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO −181)

On February 7, 2012, the Panel transferred 36 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for

the Southern District of West Virginia for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant

to 28 U.S.C. § 1407. See 844 F.Supp.2d 1359 (J.P.M.L. 2012). Since that time, 1,594 additional

action(s) have been transferred to the Southern District of West Virginia. With the consent of that

court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable Joseph R Goodwin.

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 Southern District of West Virginia and assigned

to Judge Goodwin.

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

Southern District of West Virginia for the reasons stated in the order of February 7, 2012, and, with

the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Joseph R Goodwin.

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

District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. 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.
