ORDER
Pending is Defendant's Motion to Stay Proceedings (Doc. No. 5).
This is a products liability action involving VIOXX. Defendants notified the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation that this case should be transferred to the VIOXX multidistrict proceeding (MDL 1657) pending in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Louisiana.
For good cause shown, the Motion to Stay Proceedings is GRANTED. The stay is only in effect until the MDL panel issues its resolution. Accordingly, all proceedings in this Court are stayed until the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation makes its final determination as to whether this case is to be transferred to the ongoing MDL proceeding.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
