Vioxx Court Cases
Presently pending in this litigation are two separate motions collectively seeking centralization, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407, of the 158 actions listed on the attached Schedule A in a single federal district for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. The first motion was filed by plaintiff Salvadore Christina, Sr. (Christina) on October 8, 2004. The second motion was filed by defendant Merck & Co., Inc. (Merck) on October 22, 2004. Merck’s subsequent amendment to its motion to include additional actions was filed on November 22, 2004.
The pending motions encompassing the 158 actions listed on Schedule A will be set for the next Panel Hearing Session in late January 2005. Counsel should note that the deadline for filing motions pursuant to Rule 7.2(h) to add actions for consideration at the Panel Hearing Session has now passed. In the event that the Panel orders centralization of this docket, additional related actions not listed on Schedule A will be treated as potential tag-along actions in accordance with Panel Rules 7.4 and 7.5.
