Dear Judge Slect:
We write to advise the Court that the parties are filing today in each ofthe above
related actions a proposed Case Management Order. This Case Management Order addresses the
three lawsuits tiled by direct purchasers ofthe Toprol-XL product. The Case Management Order
contemplates, among other things, that direct purchaser plaintiffs will tile a single consolidated
amended class action complaint to which defendants will respond, and thus would suspend the
current deadlines for the defendants to answer, move or otherwise respond to the individual
direct purchaser class contplaints. (The parties are also separately filing stipulations in each of
these actions extending the defendants’ time to answer, move or otherwise respond to the
individual direct purchaser class complaints in the event that the Court does not enter the
proposed Case Management Order before the time to respond comes due.)
