The plaintiffs filing cases against DePuy Orthopedics have been consolidated, news reports say, to make it easier for both parties. Ms. Debra Sheheen filed a motion to remand her case from the federal court, according to court reports, but DePuy countered it by filing a brief in opposition. This motion to oppose the petition of the plaintiff was filed by DePuy Orthopedics claiming that the case of Ms. Sheheen needs to remain in federal court.


The ASR case of Ms. Sheheen was filed last August 23, 2013 at the South Carolina District Court. However, it was transferred in the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) in the United States District Court for the North District of Ohio last August 30, 2013. The presider of the MDL cases is Judge David A. Katz and he will also be giving the ruling for the jurisdictional issue of the case filed by Ms. Sheheen. The ruling is expected to be released before the end of 2013.
