ORDER 
 
THIS CAUSE came before the Court sua sponte.  An initial status conference is 
scheduled for April 19, 2021 at 10:00 a.m.  One hour has been reserved for the conference; if 
any party anticipates requiring additional time, it shall advise the Courtroom Deputy in advance.  
The parties shall submit a joint proposed agenda listing items for discussion on or before April 
15, 2021.  Counsel are expected to familiarize themselves with the procedures applicable to 
multi-district litigation and be prepared at the initial conference to suggest measures that will 
facilitate the expeditious, economical, and just resolution of this litigation. 
Each party represented by counsel shall appear at the initial scheduling conference 
through the attorney who will have primary responsibility for the party’s interest in this 
litigation.  To minimize costs and facilitate a manageable initial status conference, parties with 
similar interests may agree, to the extent practicable, to have an appearing attorney represent 
their interests at the conference. A party, by designating an attorney to represent the party’s 
interest at the initial status conference, will not be precluded from personally participating or 
selecting other representation during the course of this litigation, nor will appearance at the 
conference waive objections to jurisdiction, venue, or service.
