Status Update, On Propecia®/Proscar® Settlement Next Week; Final Dismissal Lists By August 15, 2018

Our latest copper colored, fleet-of-foot visitor has twisted by -- orbit bent, only slightly -- and completely harmlessly so, overnight. So. . . it is back to regular fare, here.

By next Tuesday, we should know how much progress has been made on the finasteride MDL/MCL settlement mechanics, by way of a jointly-filed letter update, from the two sides' legal teams. [My recent backgrounder on the settlement may be found, here.]

The below is the full text of the able judge's overnight order:

. . . .The parties are to provide a joint update by 5/22/2018 describing the progress of the Settlement Program and confirming that they will advise the Court by 8/15/2018 which claims can be dismissed.

Ordered by Judge Brian M. Cogan on 5/15/2018. . . .

Now you know. And. . . onward, on an otherwise fine morning -- but one that sees Trump for the unsophisticated, primitively-naive rube (ignorant of history) he is -- now being easily manipulated for the world to watch, by a North Korean crackpot dictator (and to a lesser extent, by his son-in-law, in carving up the Kushner family spoils, from the move to Jerusalem). Once again, like the ZTE-China-Indonesia Trump Resort deal -- clearly, corrupt emoluments are. . . in process. Sad!

More hopefully, though -- I might add that after listening to the full audio feed of the Ninth Circuit's DACA II oral arguments late last night, I am increasingly comfortable that 45's attempt to pull the rug out from under young people who relied to their detriment on it. . . will fail. Onward, then -- as a new day opens, before us -- full of possibilities.
