UNITED STATES JUDICIAL PANEL ON MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION
(Effective, October 4, 2010, Amended July 6, 2011)
(Housekeeping revision, October 4, 2016. See Note p. 17)
I. RULES FOR MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION
UNDER 28 U.S.C. §1407
The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation promulgates these Rules pursuant to its
authority under 28 U.S.C. § 1407(f).
RULE 1.1: DEFINITIONS
(a) "Panel" means the members of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation
appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407.
(b) "Chair" means the Chair of the Panel appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States pursuant
to Section 1407, or the member of the Panel properly designated to act as Chair.
(c) "Clerk of the Panel" means the official that the Panel appoints to that position. The Clerk of the
Panel shall perform such duties that the Panel or the Panel Executive delegates.
(d) “Electronic Case Filing (ECF)” refers to the Panel’s automated system that receives and stores
documents filed in electronic form. All attorneys filing pleadings with the Panel must do so using ECF. All
pro se individuals are non-ECF users, unless the Panel orders otherwise.
(e) “MDL” means a multidistrict litigation docket which the Panel is either considering or has created
by transferring cases to a transferee district for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant
to Section 1407.
(f) "Panel Executive" means the official appointed to act as the Panel's Chief Executive and Legal
Officer. The Panel Executive may appoint, with the approval of the Panel, necessary deputies, clerical
assistants and other employees to perform or assist in the performance of the duties of the Panel Executive.
The Panel Executive, with the approval of the Panel, may make such delegations of authority as are
necessary for the Panel’s efficient operation.
(g) “Pleadings” means all papers, motions, responses, or replies of any kind filed with the Panel,
including exhibits attached thereto, as well as all orders and notices that the Panel issues.
(h) "Tag-along action" refers to a civil action pending in a district court which involves common
questions of fact with either (1) actions on a pending motion to transfer to create an MDL or (2) actions
previously transferred to an existing MDL, and which the Panel would consider transferring under Section
1407.
-1-
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 2 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/01/2021 Page 4 of 30
(i) “Transferee district” is the federal district court to which the Panel transfers an action pursuant
to Section 1407, for inclusion in an MDL.
(j) “Transferor district” is the federal district court where an action was pending prior to its transfer
pursuant to Section 1407, for inclusion in an MDL, and where the Panel may remand that action at or before
the conclusion of pretrial proceedings.
RULE 2.1: RULES AND PRACTICE
(a) Customary Practice. The Panel’s customary practice shall govern, unless otherwise fixed by
statute or these Rules.
(b) Failure to Comply with Rules. When a pleading does not comply with these Rules, the Clerk
of the Panel may advise counsel of the deficiencies and set a date for full compliance. If counsel does not
fully comply within the established time, the Clerk of the Panel shall file the non-complying pleading, but
the Chair may thereafter order it stricken.
(c) Admission to Practice before the Panel. Every member in good standing of the Bar of any
district court of the United States is entitled to practice before the Panel, provided, however, that he or she
has established and maintains a CM/ECF account with any United States federal court. Any attorney of
record in any action transferred under Section 1407 may continue to represent his or her client in any district
court of the United States to which such action is transferred. Parties are not required to obtain local
counsel.
(d) Pendency of Motion or Conditional Order. The pendency of a motion, order to show cause,
conditional transfer order or conditional remand order before the Panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407 does
not affect or suspend orders and pretrial proceedings in any pending federal district court action and does
not limit the pretrial jurisdiction of that court. An order to transfer or remand pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407
shall be effective only upon its filing with the clerk of the transferee district court.
(e) Reassignment. If for any reason the transferee judge is unable to continue those
responsibilities, the Panel shall make the reassignment of a new transferee judge.
RULE 3.1: ELECTRONIC RECORDS AND FILES; COPY FEES
(a) Electronic Record. Effective October 4, 2010, the official Panel record shall be the electronic
file maintained on the Panel’s servers. This record includes, but is not limited to, Panel pleadings,
documents filed in paper and then scanned and made part of the electronic record, and Panel orders and
notices filed. The official record also includes any documents or exhibits that may be impractical to scan.
These documents and exhibits shall be kept in the Panel offices.
(b) Maintaining Records. Records and files generated prior to October 4, 2010, may be (i)
maintained at the Panel offices, (ii) temporarily or permanently removed to such places at such times as the
Clerk of the Panel or the Chair shall direct, or (iii) transferred whenever appropriate to the Federal Records
Center.

RULE 6.2: MOTIONS TO TRANSFER FOR COORDINATED OR CONSOLIDATED PRETRIAL
PROCEEDINGS
(a) Initiation of Transfer. A party to an action may initiate proceedings to transfer under Section
1407 by filing a motion in accordance with these Rules. A copy of the motion shall be filed in each district
court where the motion affects a pending action.
(b) Notice of Filing of Motion to Transfer. Upon receipt of a motion, the Clerk of the Panel
shall issue a “Notice of Filing of Motion to Transfer” to the service list recipients. The Notice shall contain
the following: the filing date of the motion, caption, MDL docket number, briefing schedule and pertinent
Panel policies. After a motion is filed, the Clerk of the Panel shall consider any other pleading to be a
response unless the pleading adds an action. The Clerk of the Panel may designate such a pleading as a
motion, and distribute a briefing schedule applicable to all or some of the parties, as appropriate.
(c) Notice of Appearance. Within 14 days of issuance of a “Notice of the Filing of a Motion to
Transfer,” each party or designated attorney shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with Rule
4.1(c).
(d) Notice of Potential Tag-along Actions. Any party or counsel in a new group of actions under
consideration for transfer under Section 1407 shall promptly notify the Clerk of the Panel of any potential
tag-along actions in which that party is also named or in which that counsel appears.

as well as amicus curiae may file a response to a pending motion to transfer. Such a pleading shall be
deemed an Interested Party Response.

the Clerk of the Panel to ascertain whether such amendment is feasible and permissible considering the
Panel's hearing schedule. Any such amendment shall be entitled "Amendment to Motion for Transfer," and
shall clearly and specifically identify and describe the nature of the amendment.
(i) Where the amended motion includes new civil actions, the amending party shall file
a "Schedule of Additional Actions" and a revised Proof of Service.
(ii) The Proof of Service shall state (A) that all new counsel have been served with a
copy of the amendment and all previously-filed motion papers, and (B) that all
counsel previously served with the original motion have been served with a copy of
the amendment.
(iii) The Clerk of the Panel may designate the amendment with a different denomination
(e.g., a notice of potential tag-along action(s)) and treatment.
(h) Oral Argument. The Panel shall schedule oral arguments as needed and as set forth in Rule
11.1.
-7-
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 2 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/01/2021 Page 10 of 30
RULE 6.3: MOTIONS FOR MISCELLANEOUS RELIEF
(a) Definition. Motions for miscellaneous relief include, but are not limited to, requests for
extensions of time, exemption from ECF requirements, page limit extensions, or expedited consideration
of any motion.
(b) Panel Action. The Panel, through the Clerk, may act upon any motion for miscellaneous
relief, at any time, without waiting for a response. A motion for extension of time to file a pleading or
perform an act under these Rules must state specifically the revised date sought and must be filed before the
deadline for filing the pleading or performing the act. Any party aggrieved by the Clerk of the Panel's action
may file objections for consideration. Absent exceptional circumstances, the Panel will not grant any
extensions of time to file a notice of opposition to either a conditional transfer order or a conditional remand
order.
RULE 7.1: CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDERS (CTO) FOR TAG-ALONG ACTIONS
(a) Notice of Potential Tag-along Actions. Any party or counsel in actions previously transferred
under Section 1407 shall promptly notify the Clerk of the Panel of any potential tag-along actions in which
that party is also named or in which that counsel appears. The Panel has several options: (i) filing a CTO
under Rule 7.1, (ii) filing a show cause order under Rule 8.1, or (iii) declining to act (Rule 7.1(b)(i)).
(b) Initiation of CTO. Upon learning of the pendency of a potential tag-along action, the Clerk
of the Panel may enter a conditional order transferring that action to the previously designated transferee
district court for the reasons expressed in the Panel’s previous opinions and orders. The Clerk of the Panel
shall serve this order on each party to the litigation but shall not send the order to the clerk of the transferee
district court until 7 days after its entry.
(i) If the Clerk of the Panel determines that a potential tag-along action is not
appropriate for inclusion in an MDL proceeding and does not enter a CTO, an
involved party may move for its transfer pursuant to Rule 6.1.
(c) Notice of Opposition to CTO. Any party opposing the transfer shall file a notice of
opposition with the Clerk of the Panel within the 7-day period. In such event, the Clerk of the Panel shall
not transmit the transfer order to the clerk of the transferee district court, but shall notify the parties of the
briefing schedule.
(d) Failure to Respond. Failure to respond to a CTO shall be treated as that party’s acquiescence
to it.
(e) Notice of Appearance. Within 14 days after the issuance of a “Notice of Filed Opposition”
to a CTO, each opposing party or designated attorney shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with
Rule 4.1(c).
(f) Motion to Vacate CTO. Within 14 days of the filing of its notice of opposition, the party
opposing transfer shall file a motion to vacate the CTO and brief in support thereof. The Clerk of the Panel
shall set the motion for the next appropriate hearing session. Failure to file and serve a motion and brief
-8-
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 2 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/01/2021 Page 11 of 30
shall be treated as withdrawal of the opposition, and the Clerk of the Panel shall forthwith transmit the order
to the clerk of the transferee district court.
(g) Notification of Developments. Parties to an action subject to a CTO shall notify the Clerk
of the Panel if that action is no longer pending in its transferor district court.
(h) Effective Date of CTO. CTOs are effective when filed with the clerk of the transferee district
court.
RULE 7.2: MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS CONCERNING TAG-ALONG ACTIONS
(a) Potential Tag-alongs in Transferee Court. Potential tag-along actions filed in the transferee
district do not require Panel action. A party should request assignment of such actions to the Section 1407
transferee judge in accordance with applicable local rules.
(b) Failure to Serve. Failure to serve one or more of the defendants in a potential tag-along
action with the complaint and summons as required by Rule 4 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure does
not preclude transfer of such action under Section 1407. Such failure, however, may constitute grounds for
denying the proposed transfer where prejudice can be shown. The failure of the Clerk of the Panel to serve
a CTO on all plaintiffs or defendants or their counsel may constitute grounds for the Clerk to reinstate the
CTO or for the aggrieved party to seek § 1407(c) remand.
RULE 8.1: SHOW CAUSE ORDERS
(a) Entry of Show Cause Order. When transfer of multidistrict litigation is being considered on
the initiative of the Panel pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407(c)(i), the Clerk of the Panel may enter an order
directing the parties to show cause why a certain civil action or actions should not be transferred for
coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings. Any party shall also promptly notify the Clerk of the Panel
whenever they learn of any other federal district court actions which are similar to those which the show
cause order encompasses.
(b) Notice of Appearance. Within 14 days of the issuance of an order to show cause, each party
or designated attorney shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with Rule 4.1(c).
(c) Responses. Unless otherwise provided by order, any party may file a response within 21days
of the filing of the show cause order. Failure to respond to a show cause order shall be treated as that party's
acquiescence to the Panel action.
(d) Replies. Within 7 days after the lapse of the time period for filing a response, any party may
file a reply.
(e) Notification of Developments. Counsel shall promptly notify the Clerk of the Panel of any
development that would partially or completely moot any matter subject to a show cause order.

RULE 9.1: TRANSFER OF FILES; NOTIFICATION REQUIREMENTS
(a) Notice to Transferee Court Clerk. The Clerk of the Panel, via a notice of electronic filing,
will notify the clerk of the transferee district whenever a Panel transfer order should be filed in the transferee
district court. Upon receipt of an electronically certified copy of a Panel transfer order from the clerk of the
transferee district, the clerk of the transferor district shall transmit the record of each transferred action to
the transferee district and then, unless Rule 9.1(b) applies, close the transferred action in the transferor
district.
(b) Retention of Claims. If the transfer order provides for the separation and simultaneous
remand of any claim, cross-claim, counterclaim, or third-party claim, the clerk of the transferor district shall
retain jurisdiction over any such claim and shall not close the action.
(c) Notice to Clerk of Panel. The clerk of the transferee district shall promptly provide the Clerk
of the Panel with the civil action numbers assigned to all transferred actions and the identity of liaison
counsel, if or when designated. The clerk of the transferee district shall also promptly notify the Clerk of
the Panel of any dispositive ruling that terminates a transferred action.
RULE 10.1: TERMINATION AND REMAND
(a) Termination. Where the transferee district court terminates an action by valid order,
including but not limited to summary judgment, judgment of dismissal and judgment upon stipulation, the
transferee district court clerk shall transmit a copy of that order to the Clerk of the Panel. The terminated
action shall not be remanded to the transferor court and the transferee court shall retain the original files and
records unless the transferee judge or the Panel directs otherwise.
(b) Initiation of Remand. Typically, the transferee judge recommends remand of an action, or
a part of it, to the transferor court at any time by filing a suggestion of remand with the Panel. However, the
Panel may remand an action or any separable claim, cross-claim, counterclaim or third-party claim within
it, upon
(i) the transferee court’s suggestion of remand,
(ii) the Panel's own initiative by entry of an order to show cause, a conditional remand
order or other appropriate order, or
(iii) motion of any party.
RULE 10.2: CONDITIONAL REMAND ORDERS (CRO)
(a) Entering a CRO. Upon the suggestion of the transferee judge or the Panel’s own initiative,
the Clerk of the Panel shall enter a conditional order remanding the action or actions to the transferor district
court. The Clerk of the Panel shall serve this order on each party to the litigation but shall not send the order
to the clerk of the transferee district court for 7 days from the entry thereof.
- 10 -

(i) The Panel may, on its own initiative, also enter an order that the parties show cause
why a matter should not be remanded. Rule 8.1 applies to responses and replies with
respect to such a show cause order.
(b) Notice of Opposition. Any party opposing the CRO shall file a notice of opposition with the
Clerk of the Panel within the 7-day period. In such event, the Clerk of the Panel shall not transmit the
remand order to the clerk of the transferee district court and shall notify the parties of the briefing schedule.
(c) Failure to Respond. Failure to respond to a CRO shall be treated as that party's acquiescence
to it.
(d) Notice of Appearance. Within 14 days after the issuance of a “Notice of Filed Opposition”
to a CRO, each opposing party or designated attorney shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with
Rule 4.1(c).
(e) Motion to Vacate CRO. Within 14 days of the filing of its notice of opposition, the party
opposing remand shall file a motion to vacate the CRO and brief in support thereof. The Clerk of the Panel
shall set the motion for the next appropriate Panel hearing session. Failure to file and serve a motion and
brief shall be treated as a withdrawal of the opposition and the Clerk of the Panel shall forthwith transmit
the order to the clerk of the transferee district court.
(f) Effective Date of CRO. CROs are not effective until filed with the clerk of the transferee
district court.
RULE 10.3: MOTION TO REMAND
(a) Requirements of the Motion. If the Clerk of the Panel does not enter a CRO, a party may file
a motion to remand to the transferor court pursuant to these Rules. Because the Panel is reluctant to order
a remand absent the suggestion of the transferee judge, the motion must include:
(i) An affidavit reciting whether the movant has requested a suggestion of
remand and the judge’s response, whether the parties have completed
common discovery and other pretrial proceedings, and whether the parties
have complied with all transferee court orders.
(ii) A copy of the transferee district court’s final pretrial order, if entered.
(b) Filing Copy of Motion. Counsel shall file a copy of the motion to remand in the affected
transferee district court.
(c) Notice of Appearance. Within 14 days of the issuance of a “Notice of Filing” of a motion
to remand, each party or designated attorney shall file a Notice of Appearance in accordance with Rule
4.1(c).

RULE 10.4: TRANSFER OF FILES ON REMAND
(a) Designating the Record. Upon receipt of an order to remand from the Clerk of the Panel, the
parties shall furnish forthwith to the transferee district clerk a stipulation or designation of the contents of
the record or part thereof to be remanded.
(b) Transfer of Files. Upon receipt of an order to remand from the Clerk of the Panel, the
transferee district shall transmit to the clerk of the transferor district the following concerning each remanded
action:
(i) a copy of the individual docket sheet for each action remanded;
(ii) a copy of the master docket sheet, if applicable;
(iii) the entire file for each action remanded, as originally received from the transferor
district and augmented as set out in this Rule;
(iv) a copy of the final pretrial order, if applicable; and
(v) a "record on remand" as designated by the parties in accordance with 10.4(a).
RULE 11.1: HEARING SESSIONS AND ORAL ARGUMENT
(a) Schedule. The Panel shall schedule sessions for oral argument and consideration of other
matters as desirable or necessary. The Chair shall determine the time, place and agenda for each hearing
session. The Clerk of the Panel shall give appropriate notice to counsel for all parties. The Panel may
continue its consideration of any scheduled matters.
(b) Oral Argument Statement. Any party affected by a motion may file a separate statement
setting forth reasons why oral argument should, or need not, be heard. Such statements shall be captioned
“Reasons Why Oral Argument Should [Need Not] Be Heard” and shall be limited to 2 pages.
(i) The parties affected by a motion to transfer may agree to waive oral argument. The
Panel will take this into consideration in determining the need for oral argument.
(c) Hearing Session. The Panel shall not consider transfer or remand of any action pending in
a federal district court when any party timely opposes such transfer or remand without first holding a hearing
session for the presentation of oral argument. The Panel may dispense with oral argument if it determines
that:
(i) the dispositive issue(s) have been authoritatively decided; or
(ii) the facts and legal arguments are adequately presented and oral argument would not
significantly aid the decisional process.
- 12 -
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 2 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/01/2021 Page 15 of 30
Unless otherwise ordered, the Panel shall consider all other matters, such as a motion for reconsideration,
upon the basis of the pleadings.
(d) Notification of Oral Argument. The Panel shall promptly notify counsel of those matters in
which oral argument is scheduled, as well as those matters that the Panel will consider on the pleadings.
The Clerk of the Panel shall require counsel to file and serve notice of their intent to either make or waive
oral argument. Failure to do so shall be deemed a waiver of oral argument. If counsel does not attend oral
argument, the matter shall not be rescheduled and that party’s position shall be treated as submitted for
decision on the basis of the pleadings filed.
(i) Absent Panel approval and for good cause shown, only those parties to actions who
have filed a motion or written response to a motion or order shall be permitted to
present oral argument.
(ii) The Panel will not receive oral testimony except upon notice, motion and an order
expressly providing for it.
(e) Duty to Confer. Counsel in an action set for oral argument shall confer separately prior to
that argument for the purpose of organizing their arguments and selecting representatives to present all views
without duplication. Oral argument is a means for counsel to emphasize the key points of their arguments,
and to update the Panel on any events since the conclusion of briefing.
(f) Time Limit for Oral Argument. Barring exceptional circumstances, the Panel shall allot a
maximum of 20 minutes for oral argument in each matter. The time shall be divided among those with
varying viewpoints. Counsel for the moving party or parties shall generally be heard first.

II. RULES FOR MULTICIRCUIT PETITIONS FOR REVIEW
UNDER 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a)(3)
RULE 25.1: DEFINITIONS
The Panel promulgates these Rules pursuant to its authority under 28 U.S.C. § 2112(a)(3) to provide
a means for the random selection of one circuit court of appeals to hear consolidated petitions for review
of agency decisions.
An “Agency” means an agency, board, commission or officer of the United States government, that
has received two or more petitions for review in a circuit court of appeals to enjoin, set aside, suspend,
modify or otherwise review or enforce an action.
RULE 25.2: FILING OF NOTICES
(a) Submitting Notice. An affected agency shall submit a notice of multicircuit petitions for
review pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §2112(a)(3) to the Clerk of the Panel by electronic means in the manner these
Rules require and in accordance with the Panel’s Administrative Policies and Procedures for Electronic Case
Filing, except that the portion of Rule 3.2(d) requiring a courtesy copy is suspended in its entirety.
(b) Accompaniments to Notices. All notices of multicircuit petitions for review shall include:

RULE 25.3: SERVICE OF NOTICES
(a) Proof of Service. Notices of multicircuit petitions for review shall include proof of service
on all other parties in the petitions for review included in the notice. Rule 25 of the Federal Rules of
Appellate Procedure governs service and proof of service. The proof of service shall state the name, address
and email address of each person served and shall indicate the party represented by each and the manner in
which service was accomplished on each party. If a party is not represented by counsel, the proof of service
shall indicate the name of the party and his or her last known address. The affected party shall submit proof
of service for filing with the Clerk of the Panel and shall send copies thereof to each person included within
the proof of service.
(b) Service on Clerk of Circuit. The proof of service pertaining to notices of multicircuit
petitions for review shall certify the affected party has mailed or delivered copies of the notices to the clerk
of each circuit court of appeals in which a petition for review is pending that is included in the notice. The
Clerk shall file the notice with the circuit court.
RULE 25.4: FORM OF NOTICES; PLACE OF FILING
(a) Unless otherwise provided here, Rule 3.2 governs the form of a notice of multicircuit
petitions for review. Each notice shall bear the heading Notice to the United States Judicial Panel on
Multidistrict Litigation of Multicircuit Petitions for Review,” followed by a brief caption identifying the
involved agency, the relevant agency order, and the date of the order.
(b) Rule 3.2(b) and (c) govern the manner of filing a notice of multicircuit petitions for review.
RULE 25.5: RANDOM SELECTION
(a) Selection Process. Upon filing a notice of multicircuit petitions for review, the Clerk of the
Panel shall randomly select a circuit court of appeals from a drum containing an entry for each circuit
wherein a constituent petition for review is pending. Multiple petitions for review pending in a single circuit
shall be allotted only a single entry in the drum. A designated deputy other than the random selector shall
witness the random selection.
Thereafter, an order on behalf of the Panel shall be issued, signed by the random selector and the
witness,
(i) consolidating the petitions for review in the court of appeals for the circuit that was
randomly selected; and
- 16 -
Case 1:21-md-02989-CMA Document 2 Entered on FLSD Docket 04/01/2021 Page 19 of 30
(ii) designating that circuit as the one in which the record is to be filed pursuant to Rules
16 and 17 of the Federal Rules of Appellate Procedure.
(b) Effective Date. A consolidation of petitions for review shall be effective when the Clerk of
the Panel enters the consolidation order.
RULE 25.6: SERVICE OF PANEL CONSOLIDATION ORDER
(a) The Clerk of the Panel shall serve the Panel's consolidation order on the affected agency
through the individual or individuals, as identified in Rule 25.2(a), who submitted the notice of multicircuit
petitions for review on behalf of the agency.
(b) That individual or individuals, or anyone else designated by the agency, shall promptly serve
the Panel's consolidation order on all other parties in all petitions for review included in the Panel's
consolidation order, and shall promptly submit a proof of that service to the Clerk of the Panel. Rule 25.3
governs service.
(c) The Clerk of the Panel shall serve the Panel's consolidation order on the clerks of all circuit
courts of appeals that were among the candidates for the Panel's random selection.
