MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION
IN RE: MIRENA IUS LEVONORGESTREL-RELATED
PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION (NO. II) MDL No. 2767
TRANSFER ORDER
Before the Panel: Plaintiffs in 10 actions move under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to centralize*
pretrial proceedings in this litigation in the Southern District of Mississippi or, alternatively, the
Western District of Missouri or the District of New Jersey. This litigation currently consists of 113
actions pending in 17 districts, as listed on Schedules A and B. Since the filing of the motion, the1
Panel has been notified of 37 related federal actions. This litigation involves alleged intracranial2
hypertension injuries caused by the hormonal component of the Mirena IUD contraceptive system.
Defendants are Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. (BHCP), Bayer Oy, and Bayer Pharma AG
(together,Bayer),whichallegedlyareresponsible forthedevelopment,manufacture,anddistribution
of Mirena.
All responding plaintiffs support centralization, but differ on the transferee district. They
variously propose the Western District of Missouri, the District of New Jersey, the Eastern District
of Pennsylvania, and the Southern District of Mississippi. Defendants oppose centralization, but
propose the Southern District of New York as the transferee district in the event we create an MDL
over their objections.
I.
This litigation is before us a second time. In July2014, we denied a motion for centralization
filed by a different group of plaintiffs alleging that Mirena’s hormonal component causes or
substantially contributes to the development of intracranial hypertension. See In re: Mirena
Levonorgestrel-Related Prods. Liab. Litig., 38 F. Supp. 3d 1380 (J.P.M.L. 2014). The motion
sought centralization of nine actions pending in six districts, all brought bythe same counsel against
a single defendant, BHCP. At that time, there were six potential tag-along actions. In denying
centralization, we observed that the actions involved common factual issues, but determined that
informal coordination was preferable to centralization in light of the limited number of actions, the
Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle took no part in the decision of this matter.*
The motion for centralization lists three other actions that have been closed.1
These and any other related actions are potential tag-along actions. See Panel Rules 1.1(h),2
7.1 and 7.2.

few involved plaintiffs’ counsel, and defendant BHCP’s commitment to coordinating common
discoverythrough its national coordinating counsel. See id. at 1381. We also expressed concern that
individualized causation disputes were likely to predominate considering the non-specific nature of
the symptoms of intracranial hypertension – principally, headaches and vision problems – which
defendant asserted would give rise to case-specific inquiries over whether each plaintiff was
diagnosed properly. See id. We acknowledged that an MDL had been created in 2013 to centralize
pretrial proceedings forMirenaactionsalleginguterineperforationandmigrationinjuries(MDLNo.
2434, often referred to as the Perforation MDL), but observed that MDL No. 2434 involved a far
greater number of actions, districts, and counsel, which precluded effective voluntary coordination.
See id.
II.
In this second motion for centralization, plaintiffs argue that the litigation has expanded
dramatically over the past two years in terms of the number of actions, districts, and distinct
plaintiffs’ firms independently litigating the actions, and informal coordination of discovery and
pretrial motions hasbecomeimpracticable. Inopposingcentralization, Bayerprincipallyarguesthat3
informal coordination has been successful and remains preferable because (1) the number of actions
and involved counsel remains relatively limited, and Bayer continues to have national counsel
coordinating its response to the litigation; (2) plaintiff-specific causation issues remain central to
each action and are more efficiently managed outside of an MDL; (3) common discovery is, from
Bayer’s perspective, nearly complete; and (4) the actions are in substantially different procedural
postures, including four with trial dates this year.
As an initial matter, we note that an earlier denial of centralization does not preclude us from
reaching a different result on a second motion. But we will do so only rarely, where a significant
change in circumstances has occurred. See, e.g., In re: Lipitor (Atorvastatin Calcium) Mktg., Sales
Practices and Prods. Liab. Litig. (No. II), 997 F. Supp. 2d 1354, 1356 n.3 (J.P.M.L. 2014). Upon
careful review of the record, we have determined that there has been such a change.
First, the number of actions, districts, and counsel have grown substantially. The motion for
centralization encompasses 113 pendingactions in 17 districts, and thereareatleast 37 potential tag-
along actions bringing the total number of involved districts to 20. The number of distinct plaintiffs’
counsel involved in this litigation also has expanded. There now are at least 12 unaffiliated
plaintiffs’ firms in widely dispersed geographic locations. And although Bayer continues to have
national coordinating counsel, at least 20 firms are litigating the underlying actions on the motion
on its behalf. In our judgment, the number of actions, districts, and plaintiffs’ and defense counsel
make effective coordination on an informal basis impracticable.
The second motion for centralization includes 8 of the 15 actions before the Panel in 2014.3
The other actions then before the Panel were terminated over the past two years – two on summary
judgment, and five through voluntary dismissals.

Second, the plaintiff-specific causation issues identified by Bayer presently do not appear to
beanobstacleto centralization, consideringthedevelopmentof the litigationoverthepasttwoyears.
While we previously expressed concern that individualized causation issues might predominate in
this litigation, the records in the manyactionsfiledsince then demonstrate that discoveryand pretrial
motions concerning the issue of general causation have been, or will be, at the center of all actions
– that is, whetherthe hormonal component in Mirena is capable of causingintracranial hypertension.
Thus, we believe that the existence of individualized causation issues will not negate the efficiencies
gained bycentralization. See In re: Fluoroquinolone Prods. Liab. Litig., 122 F. Supp. 3d 1378, 1379
(J.P.M.L. 2015) (“Almost all personal injury litigation involves questions of causation that are
plaintiff-specific.Thosedifferencesarenot animpediment to centralization whencommonquestions
of fact are multiple and complex.”). Once discovery and other pretrial proceedings related to the
common issues have been completed, the transferee judge may suggest Section 1407 remand of
actions to their transferor courts for more individual discovery and trial, if necessary. Id.
Third, the record demonstrates that centralization is necessary to facilitate the efficient
conduct of common discovery. Although fact and expert discovery has closed in the ten longest
pending actions, discovery remains open in nearly all other actions, with most actions at a relatively
early stage of discovery or still at the pleading stage. While Bayer asserts that the longer pending4
proceedings haveresultedin thecompletionofallcommondiscovery,plaintiffsvigorouslydisagree.
The record indicates that the vast majority of plaintiffs intend to seek full discovery without being
limited by prior discovery, which they assert was inadequate. Plaintiffs identify a number of
significant common discovery issues as to which they will seek a judicial resolution, including for
example, whether document discovery from the Perforation MDL limits plaintiffs’ discovery rights
in the intracranial hypertension litigation, whether certain Bayer custodial files are subject to
discovery, and whether additional depositions from Bayer witnesses may be taken. The discovery
in this litigation also is likelyto be complex, involving anticipated requests for discoveryconcerning
allegedly related Bayer contraceptive implants and international discovery from the foreign Bayer
defendants.
Fourth, although a handful of actions are in an advanced procedural posture, the transferee
judge possesses broad discretion to formulate a pretrial program that accounts for any significant
differences among the actions and ensures that duplicative activityis minimized or eliminated. See5
In re: Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Devices Prods. Liab. Litig., 148 F. Supp. 3d 1383, 1386
(J.P.M.L. 2015). Thus, we believe that the differing procedural postures can be efficiently managed
within an MDL, except as to two actions that appear to be trial-ready. These two actions – the Miller
The record before the Panel indicates that fact discovery is complete or nearly complete4
in about 30 actions, but with expert discovery still to be taken. In another 70 actions, fact discovery
appears to be at a relatively early stage or has not commenced.
Bayer also cites 11 actions involving intracranial hypertension that have been terminated.5
But all except three actions were terminated as a result of lack of prosecution by plaintiffs, and thus
those dispositions do not indicate that the overall litigation is mature, as Bayer asserts.

and Sellers actions in the Western District of Missouri, listed on Schedule B – have completed nearly
all pretrial proceedings, including resolution of Daubert and summary judgment motions, and thus
are not appropriate for centralization under Section 1407.6
On the basis of the papers filed and the hearing session held, we find that the actions listed
on Schedule A involve common questions of fact, and that centralization will serve the convenience
of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation. These
actions share factual questions arising out of allegations that the synthetic hormone released by
Mirena (levonorgestrel) causes abnormal elevation of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull, resulting in
a neurological condition referred to as intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri, and that
defendants did not adequately warn prescribing physicians or consumers of the alleged risk. Issues
concerning general causation, the background science, and Mirena’s labeling and regulatory history
with respect to the alleged injury will be common to all actions. Centralization will eliminate
duplicativediscovery,prevent inconsistentpretrialrulings onDaubertandotherissues,andconserve
the resources of the parties, their counsel, and the judiciary.
III.
After weighing all factors, we conclude that the Southern District of New York is an
appropriate transferee district for this litigation. This district is near Bayer’s corporate headquarters
in New Jersey, where many of the common documents and witnesses are likely to be located.
Centralization in this district alsowill provideageographicallyconvenientforum forthis nationwide
litigation, and ensure that any potential overlap with the Mirena litigation involving perforation and
migration injuries in MDL No. 2434 is coordinated efficiently. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer is an
experienced transferee judge with the willingness and ability to manage this litigation. We are
confident he will steer this litigation on a prudent course.
Two other actions also have trial dates in 2017 – Coning in the Eastern District of6
Tennessee and Thompson in the Central District of Illinois – but Daubert and summary judgment
motions remain pending. Thus, the Panel has determined that the just and efficient conduct of the
litigation would be served by their inclusion in the MDL.

IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that the actions listed on Schedule A and pending outside
the Southern District of New York are transferred to the Southern District of New York and, with
the consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Paul A. Engelmayer for coordinated or
consolidated pretrial proceedings.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that transfer of the actions listed on Schedule B is denied.

Mdl 2767-initial transfer-03-17 (1)

  • 1. UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL on MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION IN RE: MIRENA IUS LEVONORGESTREL-RELATED PRODUCTS LIABILITY LITIGATION (NO. II) MDL No. 2767 TRANSFER ORDER Before the Panel: Plaintiffs in 10 actions move under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to centralize* pretrial proceedings in this litigation in the Southern District of Mississippi or, alternatively, the Western District of Missouri or the District of New Jersey. This litigation currently consists of 113 actions pending in 17 districts, as listed on Schedules A and B. Since the filing of the motion, the1 Panel has been notified of 37 related federal actions. This litigation involves alleged intracranial2 hypertension injuries caused by the hormonal component of the Mirena IUD contraceptive system. Defendants are Bayer HealthCare Pharmaceuticals Inc. (BHCP), Bayer Oy, and Bayer Pharma AG (together,Bayer),whichallegedlyareresponsible forthedevelopment,manufacture,anddistribution of Mirena. All responding plaintiffs support centralization, but differ on the transferee district. They variously propose the Western District of Missouri, the District of New Jersey, the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, and the Southern District of Mississippi. Defendants oppose centralization, but propose the Southern District of New York as the transferee district in the event we create an MDL over their objections. I. This litigation is before us a second time. In July2014, we denied a motion for centralization filed by a different group of plaintiffs alleging that Mirena’s hormonal component causes or substantially contributes to the development of intracranial hypertension. See In re: Mirena Levonorgestrel-Related Prods. Liab. Litig., 38 F. Supp. 3d 1380 (J.P.M.L. 2014). The motion sought centralization of nine actions pending in six districts, all brought bythe same counsel against a single defendant, BHCP. At that time, there were six potential tag-along actions. In denying centralization, we observed that the actions involved common factual issues, but determined that informal coordination was preferable to centralization in light of the limited number of actions, the Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle took no part in the decision of this matter.* The motion for centralization lists three other actions that have been closed.1 These and any other related actions are potential tag-along actions. See Panel Rules 1.1(h),2 7.1 and 7.2. Case MDL No. 2767 Document 58 Filed 04/06/17 Page 1 of 13
  • 2. -2- few involved plaintiffs’ counsel, and defendant BHCP’s commitment to coordinating common discoverythrough its national coordinating counsel. See id. at 1381. We also expressed concern that individualized causation disputes were likely to predominate considering the non-specific nature of the symptoms of intracranial hypertension – principally, headaches and vision problems – which defendant asserted would give rise to case-specific inquiries over whether each plaintiff was diagnosed properly. See id. We acknowledged that an MDL had been created in 2013 to centralize pretrial proceedings forMirenaactionsalleginguterineperforationandmigrationinjuries(MDLNo. 2434, often referred to as the Perforation MDL), but observed that MDL No. 2434 involved a far greater number of actions, districts, and counsel, which precluded effective voluntary coordination. See id. II. In this second motion for centralization, plaintiffs argue that the litigation has expanded dramatically over the past two years in terms of the number of actions, districts, and distinct plaintiffs’ firms independently litigating the actions, and informal coordination of discovery and pretrial motions hasbecomeimpracticable. Inopposingcentralization, Bayerprincipallyarguesthat3 informal coordination has been successful and remains preferable because (1) the number of actions and involved counsel remains relatively limited, and Bayer continues to have national counsel coordinating its response to the litigation; (2) plaintiff-specific causation issues remain central to each action and are more efficiently managed outside of an MDL; (3) common discovery is, from Bayer’s perspective, nearly complete; and (4) the actions are in substantially different procedural postures, including four with trial dates this year. As an initial matter, we note that an earlier denial of centralization does not preclude us from reaching a different result on a second motion. But we will do so only rarely, where a significant change in circumstances has occurred. See, e.g., In re: Lipitor (Atorvastatin Calcium) Mktg., Sales Practices and Prods. Liab. Litig. (No. II), 997 F. Supp. 2d 1354, 1356 n.3 (J.P.M.L. 2014). Upon careful review of the record, we have determined that there has been such a change. First, the number of actions, districts, and counsel have grown substantially. The motion for centralization encompasses 113 pendingactions in 17 districts, and thereareatleast 37 potential tag- along actions bringing the total number of involved districts to 20. The number of distinct plaintiffs’ counsel involved in this litigation also has expanded. There now are at least 12 unaffiliated plaintiffs’ firms in widely dispersed geographic locations. And although Bayer continues to have national coordinating counsel, at least 20 firms are litigating the underlying actions on the motion on its behalf. In our judgment, the number of actions, districts, and plaintiffs’ and defense counsel make effective coordination on an informal basis impracticable. The second motion for centralization includes 8 of the 15 actions before the Panel in 2014.3 The other actions then before the Panel were terminated over the past two years – two on summary judgment, and five through voluntary dismissals. Case MDL No. 2767 Document 58 Filed 04/06/17 Page 2 of 13
  • 3. -3- Second, the plaintiff-specific causation issues identified by Bayer presently do not appear to beanobstacleto centralization, consideringthedevelopmentof the litigationoverthepasttwoyears. While we previously expressed concern that individualized causation issues might predominate in this litigation, the records in the manyactionsfiledsince then demonstrate that discoveryand pretrial motions concerning the issue of general causation have been, or will be, at the center of all actions – that is, whetherthe hormonal component in Mirena is capable of causingintracranial hypertension. Thus, we believe that the existence of individualized causation issues will not negate the efficiencies gained bycentralization. See In re: Fluoroquinolone Prods. Liab. Litig., 122 F. Supp. 3d 1378, 1379 (J.P.M.L. 2015) (“Almost all personal injury litigation involves questions of causation that are plaintiff-specific.Thosedifferencesarenot animpediment to centralization whencommonquestions of fact are multiple and complex.”). Once discovery and other pretrial proceedings related to the common issues have been completed, the transferee judge may suggest Section 1407 remand of actions to their transferor courts for more individual discovery and trial, if necessary. Id. Third, the record demonstrates that centralization is necessary to facilitate the efficient conduct of common discovery. Although fact and expert discovery has closed in the ten longest pending actions, discovery remains open in nearly all other actions, with most actions at a relatively early stage of discovery or still at the pleading stage. While Bayer asserts that the longer pending4 proceedings haveresultedin thecompletionofallcommondiscovery,plaintiffsvigorouslydisagree. The record indicates that the vast majority of plaintiffs intend to seek full discovery without being limited by prior discovery, which they assert was inadequate. Plaintiffs identify a number of significant common discovery issues as to which they will seek a judicial resolution, including for example, whether document discovery from the Perforation MDL limits plaintiffs’ discovery rights in the intracranial hypertension litigation, whether certain Bayer custodial files are subject to discovery, and whether additional depositions from Bayer witnesses may be taken. The discovery in this litigation also is likelyto be complex, involving anticipated requests for discoveryconcerning allegedly related Bayer contraceptive implants and international discovery from the foreign Bayer defendants. Fourth, although a handful of actions are in an advanced procedural posture, the transferee judge possesses broad discretion to formulate a pretrial program that accounts for any significant differences among the actions and ensures that duplicative activityis minimized or eliminated. See5 In re: Bair Hugger Forced Air Warming Devices Prods. Liab. Litig., 148 F. Supp. 3d 1383, 1386 (J.P.M.L. 2015). Thus, we believe that the differing procedural postures can be efficiently managed within an MDL, except as to two actions that appear to be trial-ready. These two actions – the Miller The record before the Panel indicates that fact discovery is complete or nearly complete4 in about 30 actions, but with expert discovery still to be taken. In another 70 actions, fact discovery appears to be at a relatively early stage or has not commenced. Bayer also cites 11 actions involving intracranial hypertension that have been terminated.5 But all except three actions were terminated as a result of lack of prosecution by plaintiffs, and thus those dispositions do not indicate that the overall litigation is mature, as Bayer asserts.

  • 4. -4- and Sellers actions in the Western District of Missouri, listed on Schedule B – have completed nearly all pretrial proceedings, including resolution of Daubert and summary judgment motions, and thus are not appropriate for centralization under Section 1407.6 On the basis of the papers filed and the hearing session held, we find that the actions listed on Schedule A involve common questions of fact, and that centralization will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of this litigation. These actions share factual questions arising out of allegations that the synthetic hormone released by Mirena (levonorgestrel) causes abnormal elevation of cerebrospinal fluid in the skull, resulting in a neurological condition referred to as intracranial hypertension or pseudotumor cerebri, and that defendants did not adequately warn prescribing physicians or consumers of the alleged risk. Issues concerning general causation, the background science, and Mirena’s labeling and regulatory history with respect to the alleged injury will be common to all actions. Centralization will eliminate duplicativediscovery,prevent inconsistentpretrialrulings onDaubertandotherissues,andconserve the resources of the parties, their counsel, and the judiciary. III. After weighing all factors, we conclude that the Southern District of New York is an appropriate transferee district for this litigation. This district is near Bayer’s corporate headquarters in New Jersey, where many of the common documents and witnesses are likely to be located. Centralization in this district alsowill provideageographicallyconvenientforum forthis nationwide litigation, and ensure that any potential overlap with the Mirena litigation involving perforation and migration injuries in MDL No. 2434 is coordinated efficiently. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer is an experienced transferee judge with the willingness and ability to manage this litigation. We are confident he will steer this litigation on a prudent course. Two other actions also have trial dates in 2017 – Coning in the Eastern District of6 Tennessee and Thompson in the Central District of Illinois – but Daubert and summary judgment motions remain pending. Thus, the Panel has determined that the just and efficient conduct of the litigation would be served by their inclusion in the MDL. Case MDL No. 2767 Document 58 Filed 04/06/17 Page 4 of 13

Engelmayer for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that transfer of the actions listed on Schedule B is denied. PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION Sarah S.
