Old Merck Litigation Clean Up: As The ONJ Fosamax® MDL In Manhattan Is Closed...


Here is a small bit of the background, from October 2014 (for the rest, put "ONJ" in the search box) on this long-dormant part of the Fosamax® multi-district litigation -- the part that claimed osteo-necrosis of the jaw bone was a result of prolonged use of the drug, without "drug holidays".

It astonishes me, truthfully, that so much icy-clear river water has run through these mountain canyons, in the half light -- and faded into memory, and being, with my soul -- since I first started tracking these cases, in late-2008. In any event, this was the most recent order:

. . . .JOHN F. KEENAN, United States District Judge:

It is the Court's understanding that all matters in this case have been resolved, the last docket activity having taken place on September 6, 2016. Accordingly, it is hereby:

ORDERED that this action is discontinued without costs to any party. If the parties wish to reopen this matter or extend the time within which they may reopen it, they must make a letter application to this Court within thirty days of this Order.

SO ORDERED.

Dated: New York, New York

September 28, 2017. . . .


It is often "those we know best. . . that elude us most. . ." -- it seems Norman MaClean was right about that too. But in one month, this all. . . will be no more, even if the waters. . . from a time now gone. . . will still haunt the remainder of my days. Yes. . . I am haunted by waters.
