MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER

JOSEPH R. GOODWIN, District Judge.

Pending before the court is the Motion to Adjudicate Lien and Seeking a Determination of the Value of the Debt [ECF No. 18] filed by the plaintiffs, and the Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Motion [ECF No. 31] filed by Plaintiff's Funding Holding, Inc. d/b/a LawCash ("LawCash"). Both Motions are ripe for adjudication because the briefing is complete. For the reasons stated below, the Motion to Adjudicate Lien is DENIED, and the Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Motion is DENIED as moot.

I. Background

This case resides in one of seven MDLs assigned to me by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ("MDL") concerning the use of transvaginal surgical mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse ("POP") and stress urinary incontinence ("SUI"). Specifically, this case resides in the C.R. Bard, Inc. ("Bard") MDL, MDL 2187. The MDL Panel created the Bard MDL, originally styled as "In re: Avaulta Pelvic Support Systems Products Liability Litigation," to promote the just and efficient conduct of actions involving common questions of fact related to "allegations of defects in various models of the Avaulta BioSynthetic Support Systems manufactured, sold and/or distributed by Bard and/or Covidien." Transfer Order 1 [ECF No. 1], In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Sys. Prods. Liab. Litig., No. 2:10-md-02187. Thus, the actions centralized as part of the MDL "share[d] factual questions concerning such matters as the design, manufacture, safety, testing, marketing, and performance of these devices." Id. Subsequently, the MDL Panel renamed the Bard MDL to reflect the fact that "the litigation has evolved to encompass additional pelvic repair system products also manufactured by C.R. Bard, Inc., and related entities." Order Renaming Litigation [ECF No. 163], In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Sys. Prods. Liab. Litig., No. 2:10-md-02187.

In this particular case, the plaintiff was implanted with a Bard Ajust pelvic mesh product on July 9, 2012. Subsequently, the plaintiff received financing from LawCash in the amount of $21,000 to have the Ajust product surgically removed. On January 23, 2015, the plaintiff had the Ajust product surgically removed.

On April 26, 2016, the plaintiffs direct-filed this case in the Bard MDL in the Southern District of West Virginia. Compl. [ECF No. 1]. The plaintiffs named Bard as the sole defendant. Id. ¶ 6. On May 17, `, the court placed this case on the pending inactive docket after being advised that the plaintiffs and Bard had agreed to a settlement. Inactive Docket Order [ECF No. 29]. As of the date of this Order, this case remains on the pending inactive docket.

II. Discussion

In the Motion to Adjudicate Lien, the plaintiffs ask this court to declare the alleged lien from LawCash to be null and void, and to reduce the unsecured debt "to a reasonable amount." Mem. of Law in Supp. of Pls.' Mot. to Adjudicate Lien 8 [ECF No. 19]. In the Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Motion, LawCash argues that the plaintiffs' Motion should be dismissed due to lack of personal jurisdiction, lack of subject matter jurisdiction, improper venue, a consent to arbitration, and because the plaintiffs' Motion fails to state a claim upon which relief can be granted. LawCash's Mot. to Dismiss Pls.' Mot. 1.

After reviewing the Motions and the arguments presented by the plaintiffs and LawCash, I FIND that the plaintiffs' Motion to Adjudicate Lien is not properly before the court. The plaintiffs' dispute over the validity and value of their debt with LawCash does not involve "factual questions concerning such matters as the design, manufacture, safety, testing, marketing, and performance of" pelvic mesh products manufactured by Bard. See Transfer Order 1 [ECF No. 1], In re: C.R. Bard, Inc., Pelvic Repair Sys. Prods. Liab. Litig., No. 2:10-md-02187. Furthermore, LawCash has never been joined in this litigation, and is not a defendant in this case. Therefore, the plaintiffs' dispute with LawCash does not belong in the Bard MDL, and is not properly before the court.

III. Conclusion

The court ORDERS that the plaintiffs' Motion to Adjudicate Lien [ECF No. 18] is DENIED and LawCash's Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs' Motion [ECF No. 31] is DENIED as moot.

The Clerk is DIRECTED to send a copy of this Order to counsel of record and any unrepresented party.
