IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE DISTRICT OF ARIZONA

IN RE: Bard IVC Filters Products 

Liability Litigation,

No. MDL 15-02641-PHX-DGC

SECOND AMENDED SUGGESTION OF 

REMAND AND TRANSFER ORDER

(THIRD)

This multidistrict litigation proceeding (“MDL”) involves personal injury cases 

brought against Defendants C. R. Bard, Inc. and Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. 

(collectively, “Bard”). Bard manufactures and markets medical devices, including 

inferior vena cava (“IVC”) filters. The MDL Plaintiffs have received implants of Bard 

IVC filters and claim they are defective and have caused Plaintiffs to suffer serious injury 

or death.

The MDL was transferred to this Court in August 2015 when 22 cases had been 

filed. Doc. 1. More than 8,000 cases had been filed when the MDL closed on May 31, 

2019. Docs. 18079, 18128. Thousands of cases pending in the MDL have settled or are 

near settlement. See Docs. 16343, 19445, 19798, 21167, 21410. The remaining cases no 

longer benefit from centralized proceedings.

On August 20, 2019, the Court suggested the remand of 35 cases that were

transferred to this MDL by the United States Judicial Panel for Multidistrict Litigation 

(the “Panel”), and transferred more than 500 cases that were directly filed in the MDL to 

appropriate districts. Doc. 19899 at 2-6, 34-59. The Court suggested the remand of

another case and transferred nearly 400 cases on October 17, 2019. Doc. 20672 

at 2-4, 32-48.

In updated reports on the settlement status of cases, the parties identify 

approximately 1,500 pending cases that are not likely to settle. Docs. 21406, 21426, 

21410. These cases are now subject to remand or transfer.

The cases listed on Schedule A should be remanded to the transferor courts

pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407(a). See Doc. 21410-1 (Am. Ex. A). The Court therefore 

provides this Suggestion of Remand to the Panel. The cases listed on Schedule B, which 

were directly filed in this MDL, will be transferred to appropriate districts pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). See Docs. 21410-2, -10 (Am. Exs. B, C). To assist the courts that 

receive these cases, this order will describe events that have taken place in the MDL. 

A copy of this order, along with the case files and materials, will be available to courts 

after remand or transfer. The cases listed on Schedule C will be unconsolidated from the 

MDL, will remain in the District of Arizona, and will be assigned to the undersigned 

judge. See Docs. 21410-2, -7 (Am. Exs. B, I); 21426 at 3-4.

I. Suggestion of Remand.

A. Remand Standard.

The power to remand MDL cases rests solely with the Panel. 28 U.S.C. § 1407(a); 

see Lexecon Inc. v. Milberg Weiss Bershad Hynes & Lerach, 523 U.S. 26, 28 (1998). 

The Panel typically relies on the transferee court to suggest when remand is appropriate. 

See J.P.M.L. Rule 10.1(b)(i); In re Motor Fuel Temperature Sales Practices Litig., 

No. 07-MD-1840-KHV, 2012 WL 1963350, at *1 (D. Kan. May 30, 2012). Indeed, the 

Panel “is reluctant to order a remand absent the suggestion of the transferee judge[.]” 

J.P.M.L. Rule 10.3(a); see In re Regions Morgan Keegan Sec., Derivative & ERISA 

Litig., No. 2:09-md-2009-SHM, 2013 WL 5614285, at *2 (W.D. Tenn. Feb. 28, 2013). 

The transferee court may suggest remand when a case is “ready for trial, or . . . would no 

longer benefit from inclusion in the coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings.”

In re Multi-Piece Rim Prods. Liab. Litig., 464 F. Supp. 969, 975 (J.P.M.L. 1979); see 

In re TMJ Implants Prods. Liab. Litig., 872 F. Supp. 1019, 1038 (D. Minn. 1995).

B. The Panel Should Remand the Cases Listed on Schedule A.

The primary purposes of this MDL – coordinated pretrial discovery and resolution 

of common issues – have been fulfilled. All common fact and expert discovery has been 

completed. The Court has also resolved many Daubert motions and Defendants’ 

summary judgment motion based on preemption, as well as other summary judgment and 

in limine motions in the bellwether cases. Six bellwether jury trials were scheduled, three 

were held, a fourth settled on the eve of trial, one was resolved by summary judgment, 

and one was dropped when Plaintiffs decided it would not provide helpful information. 

The MDL cases listed on Schedule A are not likely to settle soon and no longer 

benefit from centralized proceedings. The remaining case-specific issues are best left to 

the transferor courts to resolve. The Court therefore suggests that the Panel remand the 

cases on Schedule A to the transferor courts for further proceedings. See Doc. 21410-1

(Am. Ex. A); see also In re TMJ Implants, 872 F. Supp. at 1038 (suggesting remand of 

cases that no longer benefited from consolidated pretrial proceedings).

II. Transfer Under 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a).

A. Transfer Standard.

Section 1404(a) provides that “[f]or the convenience of parties and witnesses, in 

the interest of justice, a district court may transfer any civil action to any other district or 

division where it might have been brought or to any district or division to which all 

parties have consented.”

B. The Direct-Filed Cases Listed on Schedule B Will Be Transferred.

Not all MDL cases were transferred to the Court by the Panel. Pursuant to Case 

Management Order No. 4 (“CMO 4”), many cases were filed directly in the MDL 

through use of a short form complaint. Doc. 363 at 3 (as amended by Docs. 1108, 1485). 

Plaintiffs were required to identify in the short form complaint the district where venue 

would be proper absent direct filing in the MDL. See id. at 7. CMO 4 provides that,

upon the MDL’s closure, each pending direct-filed case shall be transferred to the district 

identified in the short form complaint. Id. at 3.

Pursuant to § 1404(a), the Court will transfer the cases listed on Schedule B to 

the districts identified in the short form complaints or to the districts where the filters 

were implanted based on information provided in plaintiff profile forms. See Docs.

21410-2, -10 (Am. Exs. B, L); 21426 at 2-3; see also In re Biomet M2a Magnum Hip 

Implant Prods. Liab. Litig., No. 3:12-MD-2391, 2018 WL 7683307, at *1 (N.D. Ind. 

Sept. 6, 2018) (transferring cases under § 1404(a) where they would “no longer benefit 

from centralized proceedings[] and the remaining case-specific issues are best left to 

decision by the courts that will try the cases”).1 Defendants’ right to challenge venue and 

personal jurisdiction upon transfer is preserved. See Docs. 19899 at 4-6, 20672 at 4, 

21426 at 4.

III. The MDL Proceedings.

A summary of the MDL proceedings is provided below to assist courts on remand, 

if ordered by the Panel, and courts receiving transfers under § 1404(a). CMOs, discovery

orders, and other significant rulings are listed in Exhibit 1. The status of the remaining

case-specific discovery and other pretrial issues in individual cases should be addressed 

by the courts receiving the cases on remand or transfer.

A. Plaintiffs’ Claims and the Pleadings.

The IVC is a large vein that returns blood to the heart from the lower body. An 

IVC filter is a small device implanted in the IVC to catch blood clots before they reach 

the heart and lungs. This MDL involves multiple versions of Bard’s retrievable IVC 

filters – the Recovery, G2, G2X, Eclipse, Meridian, and Denali. These filters are 

umbrella-shaped devices that have multiple limbs fanning out from a cone-shaped head. 

1 Plaintiffs in sixteen cases identified no proper venue in the short form 

complaints. See Doc. 21410-10. No party objects to the cases being transferred to the 

filter-implant districts. See Doc. 21406 at 4.

The limbs consist of legs with hooks that attach to the IVC wall and curved arms to catch 

or break up blood clots. Each of these filters is a variation of its predecessor.2

The MDL Plaintiffs allege that Bard filters are more dangerous than other IVC

filters because they have higher risks of tilting, perforating the IVC, or fracturing and 

migrating to vital organs. Plaintiffs further allege that Bard failed to warn patients and 

physicians about these higher risks. Defendants dispute these allegations, contending

that Bard filters are safe and effective, that their complication rates are low and

comparable to those of other IVC filters, and that the medical community is aware of the

risks associated with IVC filters.

CMO 2, entered October 30, 2015, required the creation of a master complaint, a 

master answer, and templates of short-form complaints and answers. Doc. 249 at 6. The 

master complaint and answer were filed December 12, 2015. Docs. 364, 366. They are 

the operative pleadings for most of the cases in this MDL.

The master complaint gives notice, pursuant to Rule 8, of the allegations that 

Plaintiffs assert generally. The master complaint contains seventeen state law claims: 

manufacturing defect (Counts I and V); failure to warn (Counts II and VII); design defect 

(Counts III and IV); failure to recall (Count VI); misrepresentation (Counts VIII

and XII); negligence per se (Count IX); breach of warranty (Counts X and XI); 

concealment (Count XIII); consumer fraud and deceptive trade practices (Count XIV); 

loss of consortium (Count XV); and wrongful death and survival (Counts XVI and XVII). 

Doc. 364 at 34-63. Plaintiffs seek both compensatory and punitive damages. Id. at 63.

Plaintiff-specific allegations are contained in individual short-form complaints or 

certain complaints served on Defendants before the filing of the master complaint. See 

2

In early 2019, Defendants moved to expand the scope of the MDL to include 

cases concerning Bard’s Simon Nitinol Filter (“SNF”), a permanent device that predated 

the other filters in this litigation. The Panel denied the motion as moot because more 

than 80 SNF cases already had been filed in the MDL. None of the SNF cases are subject 

to this order.

Docs. 249, 363, 365. Plaintiffs also provided Defendants with profile forms and fact 

sheets that describe their individual claims and conditions. See Doc. 365.

B. Case Management Orders.

The primary orders governing pretrial management of this MDL are a series 

of CMOs, along with certain amendments. To date, the Court has issued 45 CMOs. 

These orders are discussed below and can be found on this District’s website at 

http://www.azd.uscourts.gov/case-info/bard.

C. Lead Counsel.

CMO 1, entered October 30, 2015, appointed Co-Lead/Liaison Counsel for 

Plaintiffs (“Lead Counsel”) to manage the litigation on behalf of Plaintiffs, and set out 

the responsibilities of Lead Counsel. Doc. 248. Plaintiffs’ Lead Counsel has changed 

since the inception of the MDL. Mr. Ramon Lopez, of Lopez McHugh, LLP, in Newport 

Beach, California, and Mr. Mark O’Connor, of Beus Gilbert PLLC, in Phoenix, Arizona,

are now Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs. Doc. 5285. Mr. Richard North of Nelson Mullins 

Riley & Scarborough, LLP, in Atlanta, Georgia, is Defendants’ Lead Counsel.

D. Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee and Common Benefits Fund.

CMO 1 directed the selection and appointment of a Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee 

(“PSC”) to assist in the coordination of pretrial activities and trial planning. Plaintiffs’ 

Lead Counsel and the PSC together form the Plaintiffs’ Leadership Counsel (“PLC”). 

The PLC assists all Plaintiffs in the MDL by overseeing discovery, appearing in court, 

attending status conferences, and preparing motions and responses regarding case-wide 

discovery matters. CMO 1 has been amended to select and appoint a Plaintiffs’ 

Executive Committee (“PEC”) to assist Lead Counsel in the administration, organization, 

and strategic decisions of the PLC. Doc. 4016. The configuration of the PSC has 

changed during the course of the litigation. See Docs. 248, 4016, 5285.

CMO 6, entered December 18, 2015, set forth rules, policies, procedures, and 

guidelines for fees and expenses incurred by attorneys acting for the common benefit of 

all MDL Plaintiffs. Doc. 372. In May 2019, the Court increased the common benefit

attorneys’ fees assessment from 6% to 8%, but declined to increase the 3% assessment 

for costs. Doc. 18038. 

Upon remand or transfer, individual Plaintiffs likely will be represented by their 

own counsel – the attorney or attorneys who filed their original complaint. Plaintiffs’ 

Lead Counsel, the PSC, the PLC, and the PEC were tasked with managing the MDL for 

Plaintiffs, not the individual cases on remand or transfer.

E. Status Conferences.

Since the inception of the MDL, the Court has held regular status conferences with 

Lead Counsel for the parties to discuss issues related to the litigation. The initial case 

management conference was held in October 2015. Doc. 246. Deadlines were set for, 

among other things, the filing of master and short-form pleadings, profile forms, a 

proposed protective order (including Rule 502 provisions), a proposed protocol

governing the production of electronically stored information (“ESI”), as well as

deadlines to complete first-phase MDL discovery and address privilege log issues. 

Doc. 249. Thereafter, the Court held periodic status conferences to ensure that the parties 

were on task and to address routine discovery issues and disputes. In addition to the 

status conferences, the Court conducted telephone hearings to address time-sensitive 

issues, as well as numerous additional conferences to consider various matters such as 

dispositive motions and general case management issues.

F. Discovery.

1. General Fact Discovery.

Prior to the establishment of this MDL, Plaintiffs’ counsel had conducted 

substantial discovery against Bard concerning all aspects of Bard IVC filters, including 

the design, testing, manufacturing, marketing, labeling, and post-market surveillance of 

the devices. Bard produced numerous documents and ESI and responded to thousands of 

written discovery requests, and more than 80 corporate witness depositions were taken. 

The pre-MDL fact discovery was made available by Bard to all Plaintiffs in the MDL.

CMO 8 established a procedure concerning re-deposing witnesses in the MDL. 

Doc. 519. CMO 14 established deposition protocols generally. Doc. 2239. The Court 

allowed additional depositions of a handful of corporate witnesses that had been 

previously deposed, as well as numerous depositions of other Bard corporate witnesses, 

including several Rule 30(b)(6) depositions. Docs. 3685, 4311. CMO 9 governed the 

production of ESI and hard-copy documents. Doc. 1259.

Discovery in the MDL was separated into phases. The parties completed the first 

phase of MDL discovery in early 2016. Doc. 519. The first phase included production of 

documents related to an FDA inspection and warning letter to Bard, an updated 

production of complaint and adverse event files, and an updated version of Bard’s 

complaint database relating to IVC filters. Doc. 249. Plaintiffs also conducted a Rule 

30(b)(6) deposition concerning the FDA inspection and warning letter, and a deposition 

of corporate witness Kay Fuller.

The parties completed the second phase of fact discovery in February 2017.

CMO 8 set deadlines for the second phase, which included all common fact and 

expert issues in the MDL, but not case-specific issues to be resolved after remand or 

transfer. Docs. 249, 519. Second-phase discovery included extensive additional 

discovery related to Bard’s system architecture for ESI, Bard’s ESI collection efforts, ESI 

relating to Bard’s IVC filters, and Bard’s national and regional sales and marketing 

practices. Plaintiffs also deposed two corporate witnesses in connection with Kay 

Fuller’s allegations that a submission to the FDA regarding the Recovery filter did not 

bear her original signature. Doc. 1319 (CMO 10). Plaintiffs deposed additional 

corporate witnesses concerning the FDA inspections and warning letter. Id.

Bard also produced discovery regarding the sales and marketing materials related 

to the SNF, documents comparing filter performance and failure rates to the SNF, and 

internal and regulatory communications relating to the SNF. Docs. 1319, 10489. The 

Court denied Plaintiffs’ request to obtain ESI discovery from Bard’s overseas operations. 

Doc. 3398. The Court also denied Defendants’ request to discover communications

between Plaintiffs’ counsel and NBC news related to stories about the products at issue in 

this litigation, and third-party financing that may be in place with respect to MDL 

Plaintiffs. Docs. 3313, 3314. Plaintiffs were required to produce communications 

between Plaintiffs and the FDA related to the FDA warning letter, but the Court denied 

Defendants’ request to depose Plaintiffs’ counsel regarding these communications. 

Docs. 3312, 4339. Defendants also produced punitive damages discovery, and Plaintiffs 

conducted a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition related to Bard’s net worth.

All common fact discovery has now been completed except for preservation 

depositions for certain witnesses who will not be traveling to testify live at the trials of 

remanded and transferred cases. The parties are engaged in a meet and confer process as 

to these depositions and shall complete them by March 16, 2020. See Docs. 16343, 

19959, 21063. Thus, courts receiving these cases need not be concerned with facilitating 

general fact discovery on remand or transfer.

2. Case-Specific Discovery.

CMO 5 governed initial case-specific discovery and required the parties to 

exchange abbreviated profile forms. Doc. 365 (as amended by Doc. 927). Plaintiffs were 

required to provide Defendants with a Plaintiff profile form (“PPF”) that described

individual conditions and claims. Id. at 5-9. Upon receipt of a substantially complete 

PPF, Defendants were required to provide the individual Plaintiff with a Defendants’ 

profile form (“DPF”) that disclosed information and documents concerning Defendants’ 

contacts and relationship with Plaintiff’s physicians, tracking and reporting of Plaintiff’s 

claims, and certain manufacturing related information for Plaintiff’s filter. Id. at 12-14. 

Completed profile forms were considered interrogatory answers under Rule 33 or 

responses to requests for production under Rule 34, and were governed by the standards 

applicable to written discovery under Rules 26 through 37. Id. at 2-3. CMO 5 also set 

deadlines and procedures for resolving any purported deficiencies with the parties’

profile forms, and for dismissal of cases that did not provide substantially completed 

profile forms. Id. at 2.3

Further discovery was conducted in a group of 48 cases (“Group 1”) selected for 

consideration in the bellwether trial process from the pool of cases filed and properly 

served on Defendants in the MDL as of April 1, 2016 (“Initial Plaintiff Pool”). 

Docs. 1662, 3214, 4311 (CMOs 11, 15, 19). Plaintiffs in Group 1 were required to 

provide Defendants with a Plaintiff fact sheet (“PFS”) that described their individual 

conditions and claims in greater detail, and provided detailed disclosures concerning their 

individual background, medical history, insurance, fact witnesses, prior claims, and 

relevant documents and records authorizations. Docs. 1153-1, 1662 at 3. 

Upon receipt of a PFS, Defendants were required to provide the individual 

Plaintiff with a Defendants fact sheet (“DFS”) that disclosed in greater detail information 

concerning Defendants’ contacts and relationship with Plaintiff, Plaintiff’s physicians, or 

anyone on behalf of Plaintiff, Defendants’ tracking and reporting of Plaintiff’s claims, 

sales and marketing information for the implanting facility, manufacturing information 

for Plaintiff’s filter, and other relevant documents. Docs. 1153-2, 1662 at 3. Completed 

fact sheets were considered interrogatory answers under Rule 33 or responses to requests 

for production under Rule 34, and were governed by the standards applicable to written 

discovery under Rules 26 through 37. Doc. 1662 at 3. CMO 11 set deadlines and 

procedures for resolving any purported deficiencies with the parties’ fact sheets. Id. at 2, 

4-5. CMO 12 governed records discovery for Group 1. Doc. 1663. The parties agreed to 

use The Marker Group to collect medical, insurance, Medicare, Medicaid, prescription, 

Social Security, workers’ compensation, and employment records for individual plaintiffs 

from third-parties designated as custodians for such records in the PFS. Id. at 1. 

3 The Court has dismissed certain cases where Plaintiffs failed to provide complete 

PPFs. See Docs. 19874, 20667.

From Group 1, twelve cases were selected for further consideration as bellwether 

cases (“Discovery Group 1”). Docs. 1662, 3685, 4311 (CMOs 11, 18, 19). CMO 20 set 

deadlines for preliminary case-specific discovery in that group. Doc. 4335. Pursuant to 

the protocols set in CMOs 14 and 21, the parties were permitted to depose each Plaintiff, 

his or her spouse or a significant family member, the implanting physician, an additional 

treating physician, and either a Bard sales representative or supervisor. Docs. 2239, 4866

at 1-2. From Discovery Group 1, six Plaintiffs were selected for potential bellwether 

trials and further case-specific discovery (“Bellwether Group 1”). Docs. 1662, 3685, 

4311, 5770, 11659 (CMOs 11, 18, 19, 23, and 34). 

Except for the 48 cases in Group 1, the parties did not conduct case-specific fact 

discovery for the cases listed on Schedules A and B during the MDL proceedings, other 

than exchanging abbreviated profile forms. The Court concluded that any additional 

case-specific discovery in these cases should await their remand or transfer. Thus, courts 

receiving these cases should set a schedule for the completion of case-specific discovery.

3. Expert Discovery.

CMO 8 governed expert disclosures and discovery. Doc. 519. The parties

designated general experts in all MDL cases and case-specific experts in individual

bellwether cases. General expert discovery closed July 14, 2017. Doc. 3685 (CMO 18). 

The parties did not conduct case-specific expert discovery for the cases listed on 

Schedules A and B during the MDL proceedings. The Court concluded that case-specific 

expert discovery in these cases should await their remand or transfer. Thus, courts 

receiving these cases should set a schedule for the completion of case-specific expert 

discovery.

4. Privileged Materials.

CMO 2 required Defendants to produce privilege logs in compliance with the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Doc. 249. The parties were then required to engage in 

an informal privilege log meet and confer process to resolve any privilege disputes.

Defendants produced several privilege logs identifying documents withheld pursuant to

the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine, and other privileges. The parties 

regularly met and conferred regarding the privilege logs and engaged in negotiations 

regarding certain entries identified by Plaintiffs. As part of that meet and confer process, 

Defendants provided Plaintiffs with a small number of these identified items for 

inspection and, in some cases, withdrew certain claims of attorney-client privilege and 

produced the previously withheld items. 

CMO 3 governed the non-waiver of any privilege or work-product protection in 

this MDL, pursuant to Federal Rule of Evidence 502(d), by Defendants’ disclosure or 

production of documents on its privilege logs as part of the meet and confer process. 

Doc. 314.

In late 2015, Plaintiffs challenged a substantial number of documents on 

Defendants’ privilege log. The parties engaged in an extensive meet and confer process, 

and Defendants produced certain documents pursuant to the Rule 502(d) order. See id.

Plaintiffs moved to compel production of 133 disputed documents. The Court granted 

the motion in part. Doc. 2813. The parties identified several categories of disputed 

documents and provided sample documents for in camera review. The Court denied 

Plaintiffs’ motion with respect to seven of eight categories of documents and found only 

one of the sample documents in one of the categories to contain unprivileged portions 

that should be produced. The Court found all other documents protected by the attorneyclient privilege or work product doctrine. The Court directed the parties to use this ruling 

as a guide to resolve remaining privilege disputes.

Since this ruling, there have been no further challenges to Defendants’ privilege 

logs. Defendants continued to provide updated privilege logs throughout the discovery 

process, and the parties met and conferred to resolve privilege disputes. Privilege issues 

should not be a concern for courts that receive these cases.

5. Protective Order and Confidentiality.

A stipulated protective order governing the designation, handling, use, and 

disclosure of confidential discovery materials was entered in November 2015. Doc. 269.

CMO 7, entered January 5, 2016, governed redactions of material from additional 

adverse event reports, complaint files, and related documents in accordance with the 

Health Insurance Portability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) and under 21 C.F.R. § 20.63(f). 

Doc. 401.

In September 2016, to expedite production of ESI, the parties agreed to a primarily 

“no-eyes-on” document production as to relevancy while still performing a privilege 

review for this expedited ESI document production. CMO 17 (Doc. 3372) modified the 

protections and requirements in the stipulated protective order (Doc. 269) and CMO 7 

(Doc. 401) for ESI produced pursuant to this process. CMO 17 was amended in 

November 2016. Doc. 4015.

Defendants filed a motion to seal certain trial exhibits at the conclusion of the first 

bellwether trial. Doc. 11010. The Court denied this motion and Defendants’ subsequent 

motion for reconsideration. Docs. 11642, 11766, 12069. Defendants also filed a motion 

to enforce the protective order for the second and third bellwether trials collectively. 

Doc. 13126. This motion was denied. Doc. 14446. A list of exhibits admitted at the 

bellwether trials (excluding case-specific medical records) and documents deemed no 

longer subject to the protective order are attached as Exhibit 2. 

G. Bellwether Cases and Trials.

Six Plaintiffs were selected for potential bellwether trials. Docs. 5770, 11659 

(CMOs 23, 34). The Court held three bellwether trials: Booker, No. CV-16-00474, 

Jones, No. CV-16-00782, and Hyde, No. CV-16-00893. The Court granted summary 

judgment in one of the bellwether cases, Kruse, No. CV-15-01634, and removed another 

from the bellwether trial schedule at the request of Plaintiffs, Mulkey, No. CV-16-00853. 

Docs. 12202, 13329. The final bellwether case, Tinlin, No. CV-16-00263, settled shortly 

before trial in May 2019. The Court determined that further bellwether trials were not 

necessary. Docs. 12853, 13329 (CMOs 38, 40).

1. Booker, No. CV-16-00474.

The first bellwether trial concerned Plaintiff Sherr-Una Booker and involved a 

Bard G2 filter. The filter had tilted, migrated, and fractured. Plaintiff required open 

heart surgery to remove the fractured limbs and repair heart damage caused by a 

percutaneous removal attempt. Plaintiff withdrew her breach of warranty claims before 

Defendants moved for summary judgment. The Court granted Defendants’ motion for 

summary judgment on the claims for manufacturing defects, failure to recall, 

misrepresentation, negligence per se, and breach of warranty. Docs. 8873, 8874. The 

remaining claims for failure to warn, design defect, and punitive damages were tried to a 

jury over a three-week period in March 2018.

The jury found for Plaintiff Booker on her negligent failure-to-warn claim, and in 

favor of Defendants on the design defect and strict liability failure-to-warn claims. 

Doc. 10595. The jury returned a verdict of $2 million in compensatory damages (of 

which $1.6 million was attributed to Defendants after apportionment of fault) and 

$2 million in punitive damages. Id.; Doc. 10596. The Court denied Defendants’ motions

for judgment as a matter of law and a new-trial. Docs. 10879, 11598. Defendants have 

appealed. Docs. 11934, 11953. Plaintiff filed and later dismissed with prejudice a crossappeal. Docs. 12070, 17916.

2. Jones, No. CV-16-00782.

The second bellwether trial concerned Plaintiff Doris Jones and involved a Bard 

Eclipse filter. Plaintiffs withdrew the manufacturing defect, failure to recall, and breach 

of warranty claims. The Court granted summary judgment on the misrepresentation, 

negligence per se, and unfair trade practices claims. Doc. 10404. The remaining claims 

for failure to warn, design defect, and punitive damages were tried to a jury over a 

three-week period in May 2018. The jury returned a defense verdict. Doc. 11350. 

Plaintiff filed a motion to contact the jurors, which was denied. Docs. 11663, 12068.

Plaintiff’s appeal of the court’s rulings excluding cephalad migration death evidence is 

pending. Docs. 12057, 12071.

3. Kruse, No. CV-15-01634.

Plaintiff Carol Kruse’s case was set for trial in September 2018. The Court 

granted Defendants’ summary judgment motion on statute of limitations grounds. 

Doc. 12202.

4. Hyde, No. CV-16-00893.

The third bellwether trial concerned Plaintiff Lisa Hyde and involved either a Bard 

G2X or Eclipse filter (the exact model was in dispute). Ms. Hyde’s case was moved to 

the September 2018 bellwether slot in lieu of Ms. Kruse’s case. Doc. 11867. Plaintiffs 

withdrew their claims for manufacturing defect and breach of express warranty. The 

Court granted summary judgment on the claims for breach of implied warranty, failure to 

warn, failure to recall, misrepresentation, concealment, and fraud. Doc. 12007. The 

Court also entered judgment in favor of Defendants on the negligence per se claim after 

concluding that it was impliedly preempted under 21 U.S.C. § 337(a). Doc. 12589. The 

remaining claims for design defect, loss of consortium, and punitive damages were tried 

to a jury over three weeks in September 2018. After the close of Plaintiffs’ evidence, the 

Court granted in part Defendants’ motion for judgment as a matter of law with respect to 

future damages for any cardiac arrhythmia Ms. Hyde may experience, but denied the 

motion as to the remaining claims. Doc. 12805. The jury returned a defense verdict. 

Doc. 12891. Plaintiff has appealed. Docs. 13465, 13480.

5. Mulkey, No. CV-16-00853.

Plaintiff Debra Mulkey’s case involved an Eclipse filter and was set for trial in 

February 2019. Before trial, Plaintiffs asked the Court to remove the Mulkey case from 

the bellwether trial schedule because it was similar to the Jones and Hyde cases and 

would not provide meaningful information to the parties. Doc. 12990. The Court 

granted the motion. Doc. 13329. 

6. Tinlin, No. CV-16-00263.

The final bellwether trial concerned Plaintiff Debra Tinlin and involved a Bard 

Recovery filter. Plaintiffs withdrew their claims for manufacturing defect, failure to

recall, negligence per se, and breach of warranty. The Court granted summary judgment 

on the misrepresentation and deceptive trade practices claims. Doc. 17008. The 

remaining claims for failure to warn, design defect, concealment, loss of consortium, and 

punitive damages were scheduled for trial in May 2019, but the case settled.

H. Key Legal and Evidentiary Rulings.

The Court has made many rulings in this MDL that could affect the remanded and

transferred cases. The Court provides the following summary of key legal and 

evidentiary rulings to assist the courts that receive these cases.

1. Medical Monitoring Class Action Ruling.

In May 2016, Plaintiffs’ counsel filed a medical monitoring class action that was 

consolidated with the MDL. See Barraza v. C. R. Bard, Inc., No. CV-16-01374-PHXDCG (D. Ariz. May 5, 2015). The Barraza Plaintiffs moved for class certification for 

medical monitoring relief on behalf of themselves and classes of individuals who have 

been implanted with a Bard IVC filter, have not had that filter removed, and have not 

filed a claim or lawsuit for personal injury related to the filter. Id., Doc. 54. The Court 

declined to certify the class. Id., Doc. 95. 

The class certification motion recognized that only 16 states permit claims for 

medical monitoring. The Court concluded that the classes could not be certified under 

Rule 23(b)(3) because individual issues would predominate. Id. at 20-21. The Court 

further concluded that the class could not be certified under Rule 23(b)(2) because the 

medical monitoring relief primarily constituted monetary rather than injunctive relief, and 

the class claims were not sufficiently cohesive to permit binding class-wide relief. Id. 

at 21-32. Finally, the Court concluded that typicality under Rule 23(a)(3) had not been 

established. Id. at 32-34. The Barazza Plaintiffs dismissed their claims without 

prejudice. Docs. 106, 107. No appeal has been filed.

2. Federal Preemption Ruling.

Defendants moved for summary judgment on the grounds that Plaintiffs’ state law 

claims are expressly preempted by the Medical Device Amendments of 1976 (“MDA”),

21 U.S.C. § 360 et seq., and impliedly preempted by the MDA under the Supreme 

Court’s conflict preemption principles. Doc. 5396. The Court denied the motion. 

Doc. 8872. Defendants have appealed this ruling. Docs. 11934, 11953.

The MDA curtails state regulation of medical devices through a provision that 

preempts state requirements that differ from or add to federal requirements. 21 U.S.C. 

§ 360k. The Bard IVC filters at issue in this litigation were cleared for market by the 

FDA through section “510k” review, which focuses primarily on equivalence rather than 

safety and effectiveness. See § 360c(f)(1)(A). 

The Supreme Court in Medtronic, Inc. v. Lohr, 518 U.S. 470 (1996), held that 

§ 360k does not preempt state law claims directed at medical devices cleared through 

the 510(k) process because substantial equivalence review places no federal requirements 

on a device. Id. at 492-94. Lohr also noted that the “510(k) process is focused on 

equivalence, not safety.” Id. at 493 (emphasis in original). Although the Safe Medical 

Devices Act of 1990 (“SMDA”), Pub. L. 101-629, injected safety and effectiveness 

considerations into 510(k) review, it did so only comparatively. The Court found that 

Lohr remains good law and that clearance of a product under 510(k) generally does not 

preempt state common law claims. Doc. 8872 at 12-14.

The Court further found that Defendants failed to show that the 510(k) reviews for 

Bard IVC filters imposed device-specific requirements as needed for preemption under 

§ 360k. Id. at 14-20. Even if device-specific federal requirements could be ascertained, 

Defendants made no showing that any particular state law claim is expressly preempted 

by federal requirements. Id. at 21-22.

The Court concluded that Plaintiffs’ state law claims are not impliedly preempted 

because Defendants failed to show that it is impossible to do under federal law what the 

state laws require. Id. at 22-24. Defendants are pursuing their preemption arguments in 

the Booker appeal.

3. The Lehmann Report Privilege and Work Product Rulings.

The Court granted Defendants’ motion for a protective order to prevent Plaintiffs 

from using a December 15, 2004 report of Dr. John Lehmann. Doc. 699. Dr. Lehmann 

provided various consulting services to Bard at different times. Following Bard’s receipt 

of potential product liability claims involving the Recovery filter, Bard’s legal 

department retained Dr. Lehmann in November 2004 to provide an assessment of the 

risks associated with the Recovery filter and the extent of Bard’s legal exposure. 

Dr. Lehmann prepared a written report of his findings at the request of the legal 

department and in anticipation of litigation. The Court found the report to be protected 

from disclosure by the work product doctrine. Id. at 4-12. The Court further found that 

Plaintiffs had not shown a substantial need for the report or undue hardship if the report 

was not disclosed. Id. at 13-15. The Court agreed with the parties that this ruling does 

not alter any prior rulings by transferor judges in specific cases. Id. at 22.

4. Daubert Rulings.

The Court has ruled on Daubert motions directed at general experts, and refers the 

remand and transfer courts to the following orders:

5. Motion in Limine Rulings.

a. FDA Evidence (Cisson Motion).

In the Booker bellwether trial, Plaintiffs sought to exclude, under Federal Rules of 

Evidence 402 and 403, evidence of the FDA’s 510(k) clearance of Bard IVC filters and 

the lack of FDA enforcement action against Bard. Doc. 9529. The Court denied the 

motion. Docs. 9881, 10323.

The Court found that under Georgia law, which applied in both the Booker and 

Jones bellwether cases, compliance with federal regulations may not render a 

manufacturer’s design choice immune from liability, but evidence of Bard’s compliance 

with the 510(k) process was nonetheless relevant to the design defect and punitive 

damages claims. Doc. 9881 at 3-4. The Court acknowledged concerns that FDA 

evidence might mislead the jury or result in a mini-trial. Id. at 5-6 (citing In re C.R. 

Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Sys. Prods. Liab. Litig. (Cisson), No. 2:10-CV-01224, 2013 WL 

3282926, at *2 (S.D.W. Va. June 27, 2013)). But the Court concluded that such concerns

could adequately be addressed by efficient management of the evidence and adherence to 

the Court’s time limits for trial, and, if necessary, by a limiting instruction regarding the 

nature of the 510(k) process. Id. at 6-7.4

The Court noted that the absence of any evidence regarding the 510(k) process 

would run the risk of confusing the jury, as many of the relevant events in this litigation 

occurred in the context of the FDA’s 510(k) review of the Bard filters and are best 

understood in that context. Doc. 9881 at 7. Nor was the Court convinced that all FDA

references could adequately be removed from the evidence. Id.

The Court further concluded that it would not exclude evidence and arguments by 

Defendants that the FDA took no enforcement action against Bard with respect to the G2 

or Eclipse filters, or evidence regarding information Bard provided to the FDA in 

connection with the 510(k) process. Docs. 10323 at 2-3 (Booker), 11011 at 4-5 (Jones). 

The Court found that the evidence was relevant to the negligent design and punitive 

damages claims under Georgia law. Id. The Court determined at trial that it had no basis 

to conclude that the FDA’s lack of enforcement was intended by the FDA as an assertion, 

and therefore declined to exclude the evidence as hearsay. Doc. 10568 at 87.

b. FDA Warning Letter.

Defendants moved to exclude evidence of the July 13, 2015 FDA warning letter 

issued to Bard. Doc. 9864 at 2-3. The Court granted the motion in part, excluding as 

irrelevant topics 1, 2, 4(a), 4(b), 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the warning letter. Docs. 10258 at 6-8 

(Booker), 10805 at 1 (Jones), 12736 (Hyde), 17401 at 10 (Tinlin). Topics 1 and 2 

concern the Recovery Cone retrieval system; Topic 4(a) concerns the filter cleaning 

process; and Topics 4(b), 5, 6, 7, and 8 concern the Denali Filter. The Court concluded

that none of these topics was relevant to the issues in the bellwether cases involving a G2 

4 The Court did not find a limiting instruction necessary at the close of either the 

Booker or Jones trials. See Doc. 10694 at 9.

filter (Booker), an Eclipse filter (Jones), either a G2X or Eclipse filter (Hyde), and a 

Recovery filter (Tinlin). Id.

The Court deferred ruling on the relevance of topic 3 until trial in all bellwether 

cases. The Court found that topic 3, concerning Bard’s complaint handling and reporting 

of adverse events with respect to the G2 and Eclipse filters, as well as the adequacy of 

Bard’s evaluation of the root cause of the violations, was relevant to rebut the implication 

at trial that the FDA took no action with respect to Bard IVC filters. See Doc. 10693 

at 13-15; Doc. 11256. The Court concluded that the warning letter was admissible under 

Federal Rule of Evidence 803(8), and was not barred as hearsay. Doc. 10258 at 7. The 

Court further concluded that the probative value of topic 3 was not substantially 

outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice to Bard under Rule 403. Id. The Court 

admitted the warning letter in redacted form during the three bellwether trials. See 

Docs. 10565, 11256, 12736. The Court noted that topic 3 included reference to the G2, 

the filter at issue in Booker, and reached similar conclusions in Jones and Hyde. 

Doc. 17401 at 11. The parties disputed the relevance of topic 3 in Tinlin because it did 

not include reference to the Recovery, the filter at issue in Tinlin. Id. The Court did not 

decide this issue because the Tinlin case settled.

c. Recovery Cephalad Migration Death Evidence.

Defendants moved to exclude evidence of cephalad migration (i.e., migration of 

the filter toward the patient’s heart) by a Recovery filter resulting in patient death. The 

Court denied the motion for the Booker bellwether trial, which involved a G2 filter. 

Docs. 10258 at 4-5, 10323 at 4. Defendants have appealed this ruling. Docs. 11934, 

11953.

The Court granted the motion for the Jones bellwether trial, which involved an 

Eclipse filter, and denied Plaintiff’s requests for reconsideration of the ruling before and 

during the trial. See Docs. 10819, 10920, 11041, 11113, 11256, 11302; see also

Doc. 11409 at 94-96. Plaintiff Jones has appealed those rulings. Docs. 12057, 12071.

The Court granted the motion for the Hyde bellwether trial, which involved either 

a G2X or Eclipse filter. Doc. 12533 at 6-7. Plaintiff Hyde has appealed this ruling. 

Docs. 13465, 13480.

The Court denied Defendants’ motion for the Tinlin bellwether trial, which 

involved a Recovery filter. Doc. 17401 at 7-10. The Tinlin case settled before trial.

The Court concluded for purposes of the Booker bellwether trial that evidence of 

cephalad migrations by a Recovery filter resulting in patient death was necessary for the 

jury to understand the issues that prompted creation and design of the next-generation G2 

filter, and thus was relevant to Plaintiff’s design defect claims. Doc. 10323 at 4. In 

addition, because the Recovery filter was the predicate device for the G2 filter in 

Defendants’ 510(k) submission to the FDA, and Defendants asserted to the FDA that the 

G2 was as safe and effective as the Recovery, the Court concluded that the safety and 

effectiveness of the Recovery filter was at issue. Id. The Court was concerned, however, 

that too heavy an emphasis on deaths caused by cephalad migration of the Recovery 

filter – a kind of migration which did not occur in the G2 filter generally or the Booker 

case specifically – would result in unfair prejudice to Defendants that substantially 

outweighed the probative value of the evidence. Id. Defendants did not object during 

trial that Plaintiffs were over-emphasizing the death evidence.

The Court initially concluded for purposes of the Jones bellwether trial, which 

involved an Eclipse filter, that evidence of cephalad migration deaths by the Recovery 

filter was inadmissible because it was only marginally relevant to Plaintiff’s claims and 

its marginal relevancy was substantially outweighed by the risk of unfair prejudice. See 

Docs. 10819, 10920, 11041, 11113, 11256, 11302. This is because cephalad migration 

did not continue in any significant degree beyond the Recovery filter; cephalad migration 

deaths all occurred before the Recovery was taken off the market in late 2005; Ms. Jones 

did not receive her Eclipse filter until 2010; the Recovery-related deaths said nothing 

about three of Ms. Jones’ four claims (strict liability design defect and the failure to warn 

claims); and instances of cephalad migration deaths were not substantially similar to

complications experienced by Ms. Jones and therefore did not meet the Georgia standard 

for evidence on punitive damages. Docs. 10819, 11041.

The Court also found that deaths caused by a non-predicate device (the Recovery

was not the predicate device for the Eclipse in Defendants’ 510(k) submission), and by a 

form of migration that was eliminated years earlier, were of sufficiently limited probative 

value that their relevancy was substantially outweighed by the danger of unfair prejudice 

because the death evidence may prompt a jury decision based on emotion. Id. The Court 

further concluded that Plaintiff Jones would not be seriously hampered in her ability to 

prove Recovery filter complications, testing, and design when references to cephalad 

migration deaths are removed. Doc. 11041. As a result, the Court held that such 

references should be redacted from evidence presented during the Jones trial.

The Court balanced this concern with the competing concern that it would be 

unfair for Defendants to present statistics about the Recovery filter and not allow 

Plaintiffs to present competing evidence that included Recovery deaths. See, e.g.,

Doc. 11391 at 12. Based on this concern, Plaintiffs argued at various points during the 

trial that Defendants had opened the door to presenting evidence about Recovery 

cephalad migration deaths. The Court repeatedly made fact-specific determinations on 

this point, holding that even though Defendants presented some evidence that made the 

Recovery evidence more relevant, the danger of unfair prejudice continued to 

substantially outweigh the probative value of the cephalad migration death evidence. See

Docs. 11113, 11302; see also Doc. 11409 at 94-96.

The Court concluded for purposes of the Hyde bellwether trial, which involved 

either a G2X or Eclipse filter, that evidence of Recovery filter cephalad migration deaths 

should be excluded under Rule 403 for the reasons identified in the Jones bellwether trial. 

Doc. 12533 at 6-7. The Court concluded that this evidence had marginal relevance to 

Plaintiff’s claims because Ms. Hyde received either a G2X or Eclipse filter, two or three 

generations after the Recovery filter; Ms. Hyde did not receive her filter until 2011, more 

than five years after cephalad migration deaths stopped when the Recovery was taken off

the market; the deaths did not show that G2X or Eclipse filters – which did not cause 

cephalad migration deaths – had design defects when they left Defendants’ control; nor 

did the cephalad migration deaths, which were eliminated by design changes in the G2, 

shed light on Defendants’ state of mind when designing and marketing the G2X and 

Eclipse filters. Id. at 7. 

The Court concluded for purposes of the Tinlin bellwether trial, which involved a 

Recovery filter, that Recovery deaths and Defendants’ knowledge of those deaths were 

relevant to Plaintiffs’ design defect claim under Wisconsin law because they went 

directly to the Recovery’s foreseeable risks of harm and whether it was unreasonably 

dangerous. Doc. 17401 at 7-8. The Court also concluded that the Recovery death 

evidence was relevant to Plaintiffs’ failure to warn and concealment claims because it 

was probative on the causation issue – that is, whether her treating physician would have 

selected a different filter for Ms. Tinlin had he been warned about the Recovery’s true 

risks, as Plaintiffs describe them. Id. at 8. In addition, because this evidence would be 

used to impeach expert testimony from Defendants that the Recovery filter was safe and 

effective, the Court concluded that substantial similarity was not required. Id. at 8-9. 

The Court further concluded that the death evidence was relevant to Bard’s state of mind 

and to show the reprehensibility of its alleged conduct for purposes of punitive damages.

Id. at 9-10. The Court reached a different conclusion in the Jones and Hyde cases 

because cephalad migration deaths stopped when the Recovery was taken off the market 

in 2005, and the deaths shed little light on Defendants’ state of mind when marketing 

different, improved filters years later. Id. at 9 n.4. As noted, the Tinlin case settled 

before trial. 

d. SNF Evidence.

Plaintiffs sought to exclude evidence of complications associated with the SNF, 

claiming that they were barred from conducting relevant discovery into the design and 

testing of the SNF under CMO 10. Doc. 10487; see Doc. 1319. The Court denied 

Plaintiffs’ request. Doc. 10489. The Court did not agree that Plaintiffs were foreclosed

from obtaining relevant evidence for rebuttal. The Court foreclosed this discovery 

because Plaintiffs did not contend that the SNF was defective. Id. at 2. Plaintiffs also 

had rebuttal evidence showing that reported failure rates for SNF were lower than 

Recovery and G2 failure rates. Id. The Court ultimately concluded it would not preclude 

Defendants from presenting its SNF evidence on the basis of a discovery ruling and 

permitted Plaintiffs to make appropriate evidentiary objections at trial. Id. at 3.

e. Use of Testimony of Withdrawn Experts.

Defendants sought to preclude Plaintiffs’ use at trial of the depositions of three 

defense experts – Drs. Moritz, Rogers, and Stein – who originally were retained by Bard 

but were later withdrawn in some or all cases. Doc. 10255 at 2. The Court denied the 

request in part. Doc. 10382. The Court found that Defendants failed to show that the 

depositions of these experts were inadmissible on hearsay grounds, but agreed that it 

would be unfairly prejudicial under Rule 403 to disclose to the jury that the experts 

originally were retained by Bard. Id. at 2-3. The Court therefore concluded that 

Plaintiffs could use portions of the experts’ depositions that support Plaintiffs’ claims, but 

could not disclose to the jury that the experts originally were retained by Bard. Id. at 3. 

The Court was concerned about the presentation of cumulative evidence, and therefore 

required Plaintiffs to show that no other expert of similar qualifications was available or 

that the unavailable expert had some unique testimony to contribute, before the 

deposition of any withdrawn expert could be used at trial. Id. at 3-4.

f. Other Motion in Limine Rulings.

Other motion in limine (“MIL”) rulings may be useful to the receiving courts. See 

Docs. 10075, 10235, 10258, 10947. The courts are referred to the following motions and 

orders to assist in preparing for trial:5

5 The Court also ruled on the parties’ MILs concerning several case-specific 

issues. See Docs. 10075 (Plaintiff’s MIL 12 in Booker), 10258 (Plaintiff’s’ MILs 6 

and 13 in Booker), 10947 (Defendants’ MIL 1 and Plaintiff’s MILs 1-4 and 7 in Jones), 

12533 (Plaintiff’s MIL 3 in Hyde), 17285 (Plaintiff’s MIL 1 in Tinlin), 17401 (Plaintiff’s 

MILs 2, 3, and 6 in Tinlin).

• Parties’ Joint Stipulation on MILs in Booker: The Court, on stipulation of 

the parties, excluded evidence concerning several case-specific issues in the 

Booker bellwether trial, as well as a few general issues, including: Bard’s 1994 

criminal conviction; other lawsuits or claims against Bard; advertising by 

Plaintiff’s counsel; Plaintiff’s counsel specializing in personal injury or 

products liability litigation; contingency fee agreements; and advertising by 

any counsel nationally for IVC filter cases. Doc. 10235.

• Defendants MIL 1 in Booker: The Court permitted evidence and testimony 

concerning Recovery complications. Doc. 10258 at 1-5; see Doc. 10819 

(Jones). As noted above, the Court permitted evidence and testimony 

concerning Recovery filter cephalad migration deaths in the Booker bellwether 

trial involving a G2 filter (Doc. 10323 at 4), but excluded such evidence in the 

trials involving a G2X or Eclipse filter (Docs. 10819, 10920, 11041).

• Defendants’ MIL 2 in Booker: The Court permitted evidence and testimony 

relating to the development of the Recovery filter. Doc. 10258 at 5-6; see 

Doc. 10819 at 2-3 (Jones).

• Defendants’ MIL 4 in Booker: The Court excluded evidence and testimony 

concerning a photograph of Bard employee Michael Randall making an 

offensive gesture. Doc. 10075 at 1-2.

• Defendants’ MIL 5 in Booker: The Court permitted Plaintiff’s expert 

Dr. Thomas Kinney to be called as a fact witness, but prohibited him from 

testifying regarding his prior work for Bard as an expert witness in two prior 

IVC filter cases or as a paid consultant to Bard. Docs. 10075 at 2-3, 10323 

at 4.

• Plaintiff’s MIL 2 in Booker: The Court reserved ruling until trial on evidence 

and testimony regarding the nature of Bard’s business, including the nature, 

quality, and usefulness of its products, the conscientiousness of its employees, 

and references to its mission statement. Doc. 10075 at 3-4. 

• Plaintiff’s MIL 3 in Booker: The Court permitted evidence and testimony 

concerning the benefits of IVC filters, including testimony describing Bard 

filters as “lifesaving” devices. Doc. 10258 at 8. 

• Plaintiff’s MIL 4 in Booker: The Court permitted evidence and testimony 

that IVC filters, including Bard’s filters, are within the standard of care for the 

medical treatment of pulmonary embolism. Doc. 10258 at 8-9. Defendants 

agreed to not characterize IVC filters as the “gold standard” for the treatment 

of pulmonary embolisms. Id. at 8.

• Plaintiff’s MIL 5 in Booker: The Court denied as moot the motion to exclude 

evidence and argument relating to failure rates, complication rates, 

percentages, or comparative analysis of any injuries that were not produced to 

Plaintiffs during discovery, as all such information was produced. Doc. 10075 

at 4.

• Plaintiff’s MIL 7 in Booker: The Court excluded evidence and argument 

relating to prior judicial opinions about Plaintiffs’ experts, including the 

number of times their testimony has been precluded in other cases. Id.

• Plaintiff’s MIL 8 in Booker: The Court excluded evidence and argument that 

a verdict against Defendants will have an adverse impact on the medical 

community, future medical device research or costs, and the availability of 

medical care. Id. at 4-5. 

• Plaintiff’s MIL 9 in Booker: The Court deferred ruling on the relevance of 

statements or lack of statements from medical societies, including the Society 

of Interventional Radiologists (“SIR”), until trial. Doc. 10258 at 14-18. The 

Court ultimately admitted this evidence in both the Booker and Jones

bellwether trials.

• Plaintiff’s MIL 10 in Booker: The Court excluded evidence and testimony 

that Bard needed FDA consent to add warnings to its labels, send warning 

letters to physicians and patients, or recall its filters. Id. at 18-19. The Court 

permitted evidence and argument explaining the reasons why Bard filters were 

not recalled, FDA’s potential involvement in any recall effort, and the fact that 

warnings about failure rates and increased risks could not be based on MDR 

and MAUDE data alone. Id.

• Plaintiff’s MIL 11 in Booker: The Court permitted evidence and argument 

relating to the informed consent form signed by Plaintiff prior to insertion of 

the IVC filter, even though the form is not specific to IVC filters or Bard 

filters. Doc. 10075 at 5-6. 

• Plaintiff’s MIL 14 in Booker: The Court reserved ruling until trial on 

evidence and argument relating to background information and personal traits 

of Bard employees and witnesses. Id. at 7.

other litigation. Doc. 10947 at 8-9. 

• Plaintiff’s MIL 5 in Jones: The Court excluded evidence and testimony that 

Bard employees or their relatives have received Bard IVC filter implants. Id. 

at 9-10.

• Defendants’ MIL 2 in Jones: The Court excluded evidence and testimony of 

other lawsuits against Bard. Id. at 11.

concerning “The Surgeon General’s Call to Action to Prevent Deep Vein 

Thrombosis and Pulmonary Embolism.” Doc. 12533 at 4-6.

concerning a chart comparing the sales of the permanent SNF with those of 

retrievable filters between 2002 and 2016. Id. at 5-6.

• Defendants’ MIL 3 in Tinlin: The Court permitted evidence and testimony 

concerning the Recovery Filter Crisis Communications Plan that Bard had 

prepared in 2004 to help manage damaging media coverage about a Recovery 

migration death. Id. at 11-12.

• Defendants’ MIL 4 in Tinlin: The Court excluded evidence and testimony 

concerning Dr. Muehrcke’s untimely disclosed opinion that one of his patients 

died from cardiac tamponade caused by a fractured strut that had embolized to 

her heart. Id. at 12-13.

7. Subject Matter Jurisdiction Ruling.

The parties identified cases in the MDL for which federal subject matter 

jurisdiction does not exist. Doc. 20210; see also Doc. 21410-7. No federal question 

jurisdiction exists under 28 U.S.C. § 1331 because the master complaint asserts no 

federal claim and the state law claims alleged in the complaint do not depend on the 

resolution of a federal law question. Doc. 364 ¶¶ 166-349. For purposes of diversity 

jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1332, Defendant C. R. Bard, Inc. is a citizen of New Jersey 

and Defendant Bard Peripheral Vascular, Inc. is a citizen of Arizona. See id. ¶¶ 11-12. 

Thus, complete diversity between the parties does not exist in any case where each 

Defendant is a named party and Plaintiff is a resident of either Arizona or New Jersey. 

See Doc. 20210-1.

Plaintiffs in most of the cases without subject matter jurisdiction agreed to a 

dismissal without prejudice. See id. Plaintiffs in other cases opposed dismissal, but 

provided no reason why the cases should not be dismissed. See id. The Court dismissed 

without prejudice multiple cases for lack of subject matter jurisdiction. See Docs. 20667,

21461. Some of these cases may be refiled in state court. See Doc. 20210-1.

I. Further Proceedings in Remanded or Transferred Cases.

1. General Discovery.

Because all general fact and expert discovery has been completed in this MDL, the 

courts receiving these cases need not be concerned with facilitating general expert, 

corporate, and third-party discovery. This observation is not meant to restrict the power 

of receiving courts for good cause or in the interest of justice to address issues that may 

be unique and relevant in a remanded or transferred case.

2. Case-Specific Discovery and Trial Preparation.

According to the parties, the status of the remaining discovery and other pretrial 

issues for the cases being remanded or transferred, and the estimated time needed to 

resolve such issues and make the cases ready for trial, will be determined on remand or 

transfer. Final trial preparation in the bellwether trials was governed by certain Court 

orders. See Docs. 8871, 10323, 10587, 11011, 11320, 11321, 11659, 11871, 12061, 

12853, 12971.

J. Documents to Be Sent to Receiving Courts.

If the Panel agrees with the Court’s suggestion of remand of the cases listed on 

Schedule A and issues a final remand order (“FRO”), the Clerk of the Court for this 

District will issue a letter to the transferor courts, via email, setting out the process for 

transferring the case. The letter and certified copy of the FRO will be sent to the

transferor courts’ email addresses.

The parties have submitted a stipulated designation of record for remanded cases. 

Doc. 19444-1; see J.P.M.L Rule 10.4(a). Upon receipt of the FRO, the Clerk of this 

District shall transmit to the transferor court the following: (1) a copy of the individual 

docket sheet for the remanded action, (2) a copy of the master docket sheet in this MDL, 

(3) the entire file for the remanded action, as originally received from the transferor 

district, and (4) the record on remand designated by the parties. See Doc. 19444-1; 

J.P.M.L Rule 10.4(b).

The Court has concluded that the cases listed on Schedule B should be transferred 

to appropriate districts pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a). Upon receipt of this transfer 

order, the Clerk for this District shall follow the same procedures prescribed above for 

each of the individual cases listed on Schedule B.

If a party believes that the docket sheet for a particular case being remanded or 

transferred is not correct, a party to that case may, with notice to all other parties in the 

case, file with the receiving court a designation amending the record. Upon receiving 

such designation, the receiving court may make any needed changes to the docket. If the 

docket is revised to include additional documents, the parties should provide those 

documents to the receiving court.

IV. Conclusion.

Pursuant to J.P.M.L. Rule 10.1(b)(i), the Court suggests that the Panel remand the

cases listed on Schedule A to the transferor districts for further proceedings. The Clerk 

shall forward a certified copy of this order to the Panel.

Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a), the Clerk of this District is directed to transfer

the cases listed on Schedule B to appropriate districts for further proceedings.

The Clerk of this District is directed to unconsolidate from the MDL the cases 

listed on Schedule C. These cases will remain in the District of Arizona and be assigned 

to the undersigned judge.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
