[U] At $4.2 Million, We May Never See The Full Propecia Settlement Agreement. But It Doesn't Really Matter.

Updated -- 04.14.18 @ 10 AM EDT: Here is the order, as signed by the able Judge Bryan Cogan. End update.

Here is the latest Merck lawyers' letter, as filed with Judge Cogan tonight. It is self-explanatory, and barely a page long (as a PDF).

I will also attach the claim census form (as a PDF file), for plaintiffs and claimants who might be reading this -- as even people who haven't yet filed suit (but have talked to a lawyer about filing suit) -- are in fact eligible to participate in the settlement.

. . . .[T]he Merck Defendants have agreed that the Plaintiffs' Executive Committee may disclose the Gross Settlement Amount for purposes of consideration of the Allocation Plan. . . .

Finally, because the parties did not intend to submit the Master Settlement Agreement as a publicly filed document, as it is a private agreement between the parties, the parties will not be submitting the Master Settlement Agreement jointly. If the Court requires any additional information, the parties stand ready to accommodate the Court. . . .

This concluding language, from the above letter -- essentially dares Judge Cogan to order the disclosure of it. We shall see.

Onward -- with a flawless 70 degree day ahead tomorrow -- grinning ear to ear, essentially incessantly -- as my daughter's literary travel magazine, by women, for women -- is due to launch next week. I am just so incredibly proud of her.
