WEINFELD, Judge of the Panel
(dissenting in part):
I would not coordinate or consolidate the SEC action with the other actions for the reasons set forth in my dissent in In re National Student Marketing Litigation, 368 F.Supp. 1311, 1319-1320 (J.P.M.L.1973).
ORDER
The Panel having found, upon the basis of the papers submitted and the hearing held, that the actions listed on the attached Schedule A involve common questions of fact and that transfer of these actions to a single district for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings would serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and would further the just and efficient conduct of the litigation,
It is ordered that all actions on the attached Schedule A pending in districts other than the Southern District of New York be, and the same hereby are, transferred to the Southern District of New York and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Charles R. Weiner, sitting by designation, for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407, with the actions pending in that district and listed on Schedule A.
A full opinion and order will be filed hereafter.
