Judge Sargus has denied the plaintiffs’ motion for remand, as discussed in our September 5 update. The judge explained that there is a limited stay in effect, as outlined in Case Management Orders 52 and 53 (referenced in the July 6 update), which prohibits any motions or remand requests during this period. Since the motion was filed while the stay was in place, the Court denied the motion without prejudice.

While this ruling was expected, it would have been beneficial to see Bard’s response to the motion, as it likely would have included comments on the ongoing settlement negotiations. Many plaintiffs have been left in the dark for too long, and any insight into the settlement process would have been valuable.
