In re: ASBESTOS PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION (NO. VI)
(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)
CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO-446)
On July 29,1991, the Panel transferred 21,937 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407. See 771F.Supp. 415 (J.P.M.L. 1991). Since that time, 86,009 additional action(s) have been transferred to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the Honorable Eduardo C Robreno.
It appears that the action(s) on this conditional transfer order involve questions of fact that are common to the actions previously transferred to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania and assigned to Judge Robreno.
Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. §1407 to the Eastern District of Pennsylvania for the reasons stated in the order of July 29, 1991, and, with the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Eduardo C Robreno.
This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be stayed 7 days from the entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the Panel within mis 7-day period, the stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.
FOR THE PANEL:
Jeffery N. Lüthi
Clerk of the Panel
