On October 24, 2008, presiding Fosamax MDL District Judge John F. Keenan entered CMO 15. Through this CMO, the Court established the expert disclosure and discovery deadlines and, more importantly, established which three clients' cases will be tried in the MDL and in what order. The first case to be tried will be tried in August 2009 and is the case selected by the Plaintiffs Steering Committee. The second case to be tried will be tried in October 2009 and is the case selected at random by the Court. The third case to be tried will be tried in January 2010 and is the case selected by Merck. Levin Papantonio will be the lead trial counsel for plaintiffs on the first case to be tried.
