  • U.S. District Judge Gene Pratter’s death has created some uncertainty in the Ozempic MDL.
  • The JPML has not yet determined what judge will take over the MDL or what court it will be based in going forward.
  • Plaintiffs lawyers said the parties have continued to advance the litigation behind the scenes as they wait for the MDL to be reassigned.

The unexpected death of U.S. District Judge Gene Pratter has left the four-month-old Ozempic multidistrict litigation without a judge to oversee it.

But despite the uncertainty of a looming reassignment, lawyers involved in the MDL said the parties are working behind the scenes to keep the litigation moving.
