Served on the team that obtained summary judgment for a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company in the PPI bone fracture multi-district litigation. After granting our motion to exclude plaintiffs’ expert testimony on general causation, the Court granted our general causation motion for summary judgment in its entirety, resulting in the dismissal of the remaining plaintiffs in the MDL. There were in excess of 1,700 plaintiffs in the MDL; plaintiffs have paid the pharmaceutical company ~$80,000 in sanctions. The company has paid no settlements, and all of the claims have been or will soon be dismissed. There are still 37 cases left in California state court, although we are hopeful that the state court judge will be influenced by the MDL court’s analysis and decision.
