Opinion
Case No. 1:06CV128 CDP.
February 15, 2007
ORDER
This case was originally filed in this district, but it is part of the Multi-District Litigation case In re LLRice 601 Contamination Litigation, pending before me as 4:06MD1811 CDP.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the motion to consolidate [#23] is granted, and this case is consolidated with 4:06MD1811 CDP for all purposes. All orders entered in that case apply here and unless specifically ordered otherwise, all filings from this point forward should be in the MDL case only.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motions to quash and dismiss filed on behalf of Bayer AG and "Bayer CropScience" [#13, 16] are denied without prejudice to defendants' right to refile the motions if appropriate following the scheduling conference to be held in the MDL case. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the motions to stay or defer [#15, 19] are denied as moot.
