Those who fought on -- in separate individual cases -- have now all settled, or been defaulted for failure to show evidence of actual injuries, in discovery. So -- whilst I was in the mountains, on September 3, the able USDC Judge Rodney Sippel entered the below final order, ending the Nuvaring® federal class action / products liability case:
. . .ORDER
The United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation transferred this matter to this Court on August 22, 2008 for coordinated and consolidated pretrial proceedings. After the completion of case-wide discovery and rulings on summary judgment and Daubert motions the parties reached a general settlement.
The vast majority of cases participated in the settlement. The remaining cases either reached individual settlements or were dismissed for failing to comply with standing discovery orders.
The last of these cases was dismissed today. As a result, all the cases involved in this litigation have been resolved and this matter may be closed.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall close this matter. The Clerk shall send a copy of this order to the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation to inform them of the resolution of this matter (copy forwarded to MDL Panel).
Signed by District Judge Rodney W. Sippel on 9/3/2021. . . .
Now you know -- onward, toward a bright, warm and sun-dappled Tuesday morning here. . . be excellent to one another, even as we see yet another long-standing commitment of ours. . . drawn to a very quiet end. It is the natural way of such passings, I may say -- based now. . . on decades of experience. Things just. . . fall into a river-stone like silence. But beneath those river stones. . . there are the words. And indeed, some of the words. . . are mine, to each of you.
