CASE COORDINATION ORDER

DAVID R. HERNDON, District Judge.

On June 9, 2016, the Court held a status conference in Davis v. Combe Incorporated, et al. (3:16-cv-169 — hereinafter "Davis"), Lindsey, et al. v. Combe Incorporated, et al. (3:16-cv-223 — hereinafter "Lindsey"), Martin, et al. v. Combe Incorporated, et al. (3:16-cv-227 — hereinafter "Martin"), Brownlee, et al. v. Combe Incorporated, et al. (3:16-cv-228 — hereinafter "Brownlee"), Brim, et al. v. Combe Incorporated, et al. (3:16-cv-229 — hereinafter "Brim"), and Lasley, et al. v. Combe Incorporated, et al. (3:16-cv-232 — hereinafter "Lasley"), and pursuant to this Court's Orders of May 24, 2016, required that Lead Counsel for Plaintiffs and Defendants personally appear.

The Court presided over suggestions of counsel regarding a joint proposal to coordinate certain pretrial matters of the substantial number of presently filed cases, as well as any future cases, alleging injuries from use of Defendants' marketed products known as the line of Just for Men® hair coloring products.

The Court concludes that the interests of judicial economy will be served by coordinating all pretrial matters in the Just for Men® cases. Therefore, the Court

ORDERS AS FOLLOWS1:

1. Applicability of Order. The provisions of this Order (and of future orders applicable to "All Cases") shall govern the practice and procedure in those actions that are pending in this Court which are identified on Attachment A and known as the Just for Men cases. This Order shall be filed in each of those cases, and will also apply to any future Just for Men cases that arrive in this Court.

2. Coordination. These civil actions identified in Attachment A shall be coordinated for discovery and certain pretrial purposes. Any related cases which are later filed in, removed to or transferred to this Court, or any related actions directly filed in the Southern District of Illinois, prior to the entry of this Order or after, will automatically be coordinated with this action without the necessity of future motions. This Order shall be filed in any future case identifying it as part of the Just for Men® coordinated litigation. This coordination, however, does not constitute a determination in any respect that the actions should be coordinated or consolidated for trial.

3. Master Docket. The Clerk of this Court will maintain a Master Docket which shall be designated as follows:

Case No. 3:16-cv-00638-DRH

Master Docket — In Re: Just for Men® Mass Tort Litigation

10. Lead and Liaison Counsel Appointments. The Court intends to appoint Plaintiffs' Lead Counsel and/or a Plaintiffs' Steering Committee, as well as Plaintiffs' Liaison Counsel. Given the small number of Plaintiffs' counsel of record in all the applicable cases, the Court expects counsel to make a single unified proposal to this Court. The uniform proposal for Plaintiffs' Counsel must be submitted to the Court on or before July 1, 2016 via the Court's proposed documents email address (DRHpd@ilsd.uscourts.gov). In the same Order, the Court will also appoint Liaison and Lead Counsel for Defendants. Counsel for the Defendants should advise plaintiffs' counsel and the Court of the specific counsel.
