ORDER LIFTING STAY OF CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER

A conditional transfer order was filed in this action (Rutherford) on October 27, 2011. Prior to expiration of that order's 7-day stay of transmittal, plaintiffs in Rutherford filed a notice of opposition to the proposed transfer. Plaintiffs subsequently failed to file the required motion and brief to vacate the conditional transfer order.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the stay of the Panel's conditional transfer order designated as "CTO-13" filed on October 27, 2011, is LIFTED. The action is transferred to the District of Arizona for inclusion in the coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 being conducted by the Honorable James A. Teilborg.
