FINAL JUDGMENT On December 18, 2023, the defendants’ Rule 702 motions regarding the plaintiffs’ proposed general causation expert testimony were granted. On January 16, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause why summary judgment should not be entered in each Member Case of this MDL in which the SFC was served on or before January 11, 2024. The January 16 Order also provided that plaintiffs in any Member Case in which an SFC was served on or after January 12, 2024 shall have 21 days from the date of service to show cause why summary judgment should not be entered in favor of the defendants named in that Member Case for failure to 1) present admissible evidence of general causation; 2) show any error in the December 17, 2023 Rule 702 Opinion; and/or 3) show why the December 18, 2023 Rue 702 Opinion does not apply to their Member Case. On February 1, 2024, plaintiffs conceded that summary judgment was proper in each Member Case listed in Exhibit A to plaintiffs’ response (22MD3043: ECF No. 1398, Exhibit A). A February 5, 2024 Order required the defendants to confirm that Exhibit A contained a complete list of Member Cases in which summary judgment was proper. On February 15, 2024, the defendants responded to plaintiffs’ responses to the January 16 Order by, inter alia, providing certain corrections and additions to the list provided by the plaintiffs (22MD3043: ECF No. 1405). Defendants filed their updated list at 22MD3043: ECF No. 1405, Exhibit 1, and it is attached as Exhibit 1 to this Order. Plaintiffs have not objected to Exhibit 1′s accuracy or completeness. Accordingly, it is hereby ORDERED that, for the reasons set forth in the Court’s Opinion and Order of December 18, 2023, and in the January 16, 2024 Order to Show Cause, final judgment is entered for defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 58 in each case listed in Exhibit 1 to this Order. Dated: February 21, 2024
