`
`UNTIED STATES DISTRICT COURT
`EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
`SOUTHERN DIVISION
`
`
`
`
`
`CASE NO. 12-md-02311
`
`HON. MARIANNE O. BATTANI
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`IN RE: AUTOMOTIVE WIRE HARNESS
`SYSTEMS ANTITRUST LITIGATION
`
`
`MDL No. 2311
`
`_________________________________/
`
`
`ORDER SETTING INITIAL STATUS CONFERENCE
`
`Preamble: Numerous antitrust civil actions involving automotive wire harnesses
`
`
`
`and other automotive components have been filed nationwide. Plaintiff in the first filed
`
`case in this district, Susan Lacava v. Delphi Automotive LLP et al., Case No. 11-cv-
`
`14399, moved the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”), pursuant to 28
`
`U.S.C. § 1407, to centralize the wire harness systems litigation in the Eastern District of
`
`Michigan. See In Re: Automotive Wire Harness Systems Antitrust Litigation, MDL No.
`
`2311. On February 7, 2012, the JPML granted the motion. (Attachment 1).
`
`
`
`Currently ten cases, all filed directly in the Eastern District of Michigan, involve
`
`Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs. (Attachment 2). On February 3, 2012, the Direct Purchaser
`
`Plaintiffs filed a motion to consolidate their actions and to appoint Interim Lead Class
`
`and Liaison Counsel in the Direct Purchaser cases. (Case No. 11-cv-15186, Doc. No.
`
`11). The motion is pending and will be considered at the Initial Status Conference.
`
`
`
`Thirty-five Indirect Purchaser cases have been filed in the Eastern District of
`
`Michigan, or transferred under MDL No. 2311, or have been identified but are pending
`
`classification as tag-alongs, as of the date of this Order. (Attachment 3).
`
`

`
`2:12-md-02311-MOB-MKM Doc # 1 Filed 02/17/12 Pg 2 of 51 Pg ID 2
`
`
`
`Further, three additional MDLs involving other automotive components are
`
`pending before the JPML: In Re: Instrument Panel Clusters Antitrust Litigation, MDL No.
`
`2349; In Re: Fuel Senders Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2350; and In Re: Heating
`
`Control Panels Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 2351.
`
`
`
`Given the administrative and legal complexity of this litigation, the diverse
`
`geography of the numerous firms and attorneys who have filed appearances, and in
`
`anticipation of the massive number of potential class plaintiffs, the Court is eager to
`
`develop a structure to guide the litigation to a just, efficient, and speedy resolution.
`
`
`
`THERFORE, an Initial Status Conference for all cases in MDL No. 2311 is
`
`scheduled for March 16, 2012, commencing at 10:00 a.m. and continuing until the
`
`business at hand is completed, in the courtroom of the Honorable Marianne O. Battani,
`
`at the Theodore Levin Federal Courthouse, Room 272, 231 West Lafayette, Detroit,
`
`Michigan.
`
`Preliminary rules and procedures:
`
`(a) Attendance. To minimize costs and facilitate a manageable conference, parties are
`
`not required to attend the conference. Parties with similar interests are expected to
`
`agree to the extent practicable on a single attorney to act on their joint behalf at the
`
`conference. A party will not, by designating an attorney to represent its interests at the
`
`conference, be precluded from other representation during the litigation; and attendance
`
`at the conference will not waive objections to jurisdiction, venue, or service.
`
`(b) Service List. This Order is being mailed to the persons shown on Attachment 4,
`
`which has been prepared from the list of counsel making appearances in the cases
`
`listed in Attachments 2 and 3. Counsel on this list are requested to forward a copy of
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`2:12-md-02311-MOB-MKM Doc # 1 Filed 02/17/12 Pg 3 of 51 Pg ID 3
`
`the Order to other attorneys who should be notified of the conference. A corrected
`
`service list will be prepared after the conference.
`
`(c) Other Participants. Persons who are not named as parties in this litigation but may
`
`later be joined as parties or are parties in related litigation pending in other federal
`
`districts are invited to attend in person or by counsel.
`
`(d) Purposes and Agenda. The conference will be held for the primary purpose of
`
`facilitating the Court and counsel to understand “the lay of the land” and for purposes
`
`specified in Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(a), 16(b), and 16(c). Counsel are encouraged to meet
`
`and confer and submit to the Court discussion items to be incorporated into an Agenda
`
`for this initial conference. Proposed scheduling orders also are welcome. Counsel
`
`must submit proposed Agenda items via email to Case Manager, Bernadette Thebolt, at
`
`efile_battani@mied.uscourts.gov, by March 9, 2012. The Court will finalize the Agenda
`
`and file it electronically by March 12, 2012.
`
`(e) Admission of Counsel. Attorney admission is governed by Local Rule 83.20.
`
`Association of local co-counsel is not required.
`
`(f) Pleadings. Each Defendant is granted an extension of time for responding by
`
`motion or answer to the complaint(s) until a date to be set at the conference.
`
`(g) Pending and New Discovery. Pending the conference, all outstanding disclosure
`
`and discovery proceedings are stayed, and no further discovery shall be initiated. This
`
`Order does not (1) preclude voluntary informal discovery regarding the identification and
`
`location of relevant documents and witnesses; (2) preclude parties from stipulating to
`
`conducting a deposition that already has been scheduled; (3) prevent a party from
`
`voluntarily making disclosures, responding to an outstanding discovery request under
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`2:12-md-02311-MOB-MKM Doc # 1 Filed 02/17/12 Pg 4 of 51 Pg ID 4
`
`Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 33, 34, or 36; or (4) authorize a party to suspend its
`
`efforts in gathering information needed to respond to a request under Rule 33, 34, or
`
`36.
`
`(h). Later Filed Cases. This Order shall also apply to related cases later filed in,
`
`removed to, or transferred to this Court.
`
`(i). Applications for Lead and Liaison Counsel Appointments. The Court intends to
`
`appoint lead counsel for the Direct Purchaser Plaintiffs and Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs,
`
`as well as liaison counsel. Applications for these positions must be filed electronically
`
`on or before March 8, 2012. The Court will only consider attorneys who have filed a
`
`civil action or an appearance in this litigation. The main criteria for these appointments
`
`are (1) willingness and ability to commit to a time-consuming process; (2) ability to work
`
`cooperatively with others; (3) professional experience in this type of litigation; and (4)
`
`access to sufficient resources to advance the litigation in a timely manner.
`
`
`
`IN CONCLUSION, the Court wishes to express clearly its expectation that
`
`professionalism, courtesy, and civility will endure throughout these proceedings. The
`
`Manual for Complex Litigation, Fourth at section 10.21 captures the spirit in these
`
`terms:
`
`The added demands and burdens of complex litigation place a premium
`on attorney professionalism, and the judge should encourage counsel to
`act responsibly. The certification requirements of Federal Rules of Civil
`Procedure 11 and 26(g) reflect some of the attorneys' obligations as
`officers of the court.
`
`
`
`Because of the high level of competence and experience that attorneys ordinarily bring
`
`to this type of litigation, the Court is confident that this objective will be achieved without
`
`judicial intervention.

`
`TRANSFER ORDER
`
`Before the Panel: Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407, plaintiff in the action pending in the
`*
`Eastern District of Michigan action moves to centralize this litigation in that district. This litigation
`currently consists of two actions pending in the Eastern District of Michigan and the Northern District
`of California.2
`
`All responding parties agree that centralization of these actions is appropriate, and most
`support the Eastern District of Michigan as transferee district. Certain plaintiffs suggest other
`transferee districts, including the Northern District of California, the Eastern District of Louisiana,
`the Southern District of Alabama, and the District of Puerto Rico.
`
`On the basis of the papers filed and hearing session held, we find that these actions involve
`common questions of fact, and that centralization of all actions in the Eastern District of Michigan
`will serve the convenience of the parties and witnesses and promote the just and efficient conduct of
`this litigation. It is undisputed that these actions share factual questions arising out of an alleged
`conspiracy to inflate, fix, raise, maintain, or artificially stabilize prices of automotive wire harness
`systems. Centralization will eliminate duplicative discovery; prevent inconsistent pretrial rulings,
`including with respect to class certification; and conserve the resources of the parties, their counsel,
`and the judiciary.
`
`We are persuaded that the Eastern District of Michigan is the most appropriate transferee
`district. Most responding parties support centralization there, where the vast majority of the actions
`are pending, including the first-filed action. Moreover, several defendants are located in this district
`and a related criminal investigation is ongoing there.
`
`*
`
`Judge W. Royal Furgeson, Jr. took no part in the decision of this matter.
`
`The parties have notified the Panel that 42 additional related actions are pending.
`2
`These actions are potential tag-along actions. See Rule 7.1, R.P.J.P.M.L.

`
`IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407, the action pending in
`the Northern District of California is transferred to the Eastern District of Michigan and, with the
`consent of that court, assigned to the Honorable Marianne O. Battani for coordinated or consolidated
`pretrial proceedings with the action pending there.
