As was true last month around this time, once again this month (as of the 9th, actually) -- another bolus of cases has been dismissed by the able Judge Brian Cogan in Brooklyn, for failure to comply with expert opinion/discovery orders, among other things.
And by way of additional background, here's a link to the end of December's installment, on this topic. If any or all of this interests you, you may review the entire eight page PDF of the latest filing here, to see if your name is included, there. Here's a bit of the lead in:
. . . .On May 9, 2017, the Court issued PPO 16. That Order directed the Plaintiffs’ Executive Committee in this consolidated litigation to review the plaintiffs’ experts’ opinions on general causation for the claims, and to review what evidence the experts deemed necessary to establish facts consistent with their proffered opinions (that is to say, what facts a hypothetical plaintiff would have to prove to prevail against defendants). The Order then directed counsel for each plaintiff to review the experts’ opinions and to inform their clients whether their factual claims fit within the experts’ stated theory – i.e., whether those clients were likely to have a viable claim in this litigation. . . .
Some have apparently failed to clear that hurdle, according to their own lawyers. Though some have been given additional time, since the problem was procedural, not substantive -- if you are curious -- do take a look.
Now you know. Onward, into the bright but cold afternoon sunshine we go -- replacing the masthead momentarily. Smiling, all the while. . . with a big sweet golden dog, this week, as my house guest. . . grin. . . .
