The first bellwether case to be tried in the MDL out of Ohio has been postponed again.
The trial was to begin today, September 24, after it was continued from a setting of September 9th. Judge Katz issued an Order yesterday citing reasons such as the difficulty in the scheduling of expert witnesses for appearance at trial and the need to conduct more discovery. Judge Katz did not reset the date for the trial to begin, but instead left it open for commencement within 90 days.
Two state court trials are still set to proceed. One is set for October 15 in California and the other is set for October 21 in New Jersey. We will be monitoring these cases closely.
