(WDPA) will be upgrading its current CM/ECF system to the Next Generation of CM/ECF

(NextGen CM/ECF) on Monday, May 26, 2020. Complete information, including a checklist of

actions regarding the WDPA NexGen CM/ECF implementation, can be found at here . Currently,

multiple attorneys within a firm may share a single PACER account. Shared PACER accounts

Case: 1:20-cv-02259 Document #: 46 Filed: 04/10/20 Page 17 of 18 PageID #:495
cannot be used by WDPA e−filing attorneys once the WDPA NextGen CM/ECF system is

implemented. Each attorney must have an individual upgraded PACER account that will be linked

to the e−filing account. If you have an upgraded PACER account, no action is required until after

the WDPA NextGen CM/ECF upgrade on May 26, 2020. You have an upgraded PACER account if

you (1) e−file in another NextGen court, or (2) created your PACER account after August 10, 2014.

If neither of these are true, you must upgrade your legacy PACER account before you will be able

to link your PACER account to your current WDPA CM/ECF account for your new NextGen

CM/ECF account. Further informational notices will be sent later, but if you have questions about

upgrading your PACER account, please contact the PACER Service Center at 800−676−6856.

04/09/2020 Ï 44 OPINION. Signed by Chief Judge Mark R. Hornak on 4/9/20. (bdb) (Entered: 04/09/2020)

04/09/2020 Ï 45 ORDER. The Defendants' Motions to Transfer at No. 2:19−cv−00307, ECF No. 50 and No.

2:19−cv−00549, ECF No. 30 are hereby GRANTED, consistent with this Court's Opinion of this

date. A Motion to Appoint Lead Counsel was filed in the action at No. 2:19−cv−00433 on June 14,

2019. (No. 19−433, ECF No. 35.) That action, however, has since been voluntarily dismissed and

was de−consolidated from the matters pending at No. 2:19−cv−00549. (No. 19−549, Order, ECF

No. 20.) As such, the Court no longer views the Motion at No. 2:19−cv−00433, ECF No. 35 to be

"live," but to the extent that it is, any such Motion is hereby DISMISSED without prejudice, in that

the transferee Court is the appropriate forum to consider such Motion now that all (federal) actions

revolving around the alleged misstatements and/or omissions are pending before that Court.The

Clerk of Court shall transfer the actions at No. 2:19−cv−00307 and No. 2:19−cv−00549, and all

actions consolidated with them, specifically Silverman v. Behring, No. 2:19−cv−00574 and Green

v. Behring, No. 2:19−cv−00613, FORTHWITH to the United States District Court for the Northern

District of Illinois, as related to Hedick v. Kraft Heinz Co., No. 1:19−cv−01339 (N.D. Ill.). Signed
