IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARLA BARTON,

Plaintiff,

 v.

ELI LILLY AND COMPANY,

Defendant

 /

No. C-06-1540 MMC

ORDER VACATING CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Before the Court is plaintiff’s Case Management Conference Statement, filed May

23, 2006, by which plaintiff seeks to continue the June 2, 2006 case management

conference in the instant action by approximately 120 days. Plaintiff states a continuance

is necessary because She anticipates the instant action will be transferred for inclusion in

MDL No. 1596, In re Zyprexa Products Liability Litigation, and because She has not served

defendant. Because the instant action was filed February 28, 2006, the 120-day deadline

for plaintiff to serve defendant, pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil

Procedure, has not yet elapsed.

The Court further notes that it has been notified by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict

Litigation (“JPML”), by letter dated May 17, 2006, that the JPML has directed the Clerk of

Eastern District of New York to file an order transferring the above-titled action to said

Case 3:06-cv-01540-MMC Document 6 Filed 05/24/06 Page 1 of 2
