The 5 member judicial panel on MultiDistrict Litigation has ordered DePuy hip implant lawsuits be consolidated under Judge David A. Katz, a federal judge appointed by President Bill Clinton in the 1994.

The Northern District of Ohio (Toledo) is an appropriate venue for the MDL because of the city's accessibility as well as several potential tag along actions already pending in the court.
