Dear Mr. Dalleo:
I am enclosing a certified copy and one additional copy of a transfer order filed today by the Panel in
the above-captioned matter. The order is directed to you for filing.
The Panel's governing statute, 28 U.S.C. §1407, requires that the transferee clerk "...transmit a
certified copy of the Panel's order to transfer to the clerk of the district court from which the action is being
transferred. "
A copy of Rule 1.6 of the Rules of Procedure of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation, 199
F.R.D. 425, 428 (2001), which deals specifically with the transfer of files, is enclosed for your convenience.
Also enclosed are a complete set of the Panel Rules and a copy of Chapter 7 of Volume 4 of the Clerks
Manual, United States District Courts.
The Panel Clerk's Office maintains the only statistical accounting of multidistrict litigation traffic in
the federal courts. These statistics are used by the Administrative Office of the United States Courts and
the Judicial Conference. Therefore, your cooperation in keeping the Panel advised of the progress of this
litigation would be appreciated. We are particularly interested in receiving the docket numbers assigned to
each transferred action by your court; the caption and docket numbers of all actions originally filed in your
district; and copies of orders regarding appointment of liaison counsel, settlements, dismissals, state court
remands, and reassigrunents to other judges in your district.
Your attention is also directed to Panel Rule 7.6, regarding termination and remand of transferred _
actions. Upon notification from your court of a finding by the transferee judge that Section 1407 remand of
a transferred action is appropriate, this office will promptly file a conditional remand order.
