MELINDA HARMON, District Judge
Arthur K. McNett, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, et al. v. Arthur Anderson, et al., H-04-0122, alleging on behalf of shareholders of Portland General Corporation ("PGE") breach of fiduciary duty in approval the 1997 merger of PGE with Enron Corporation and the exchange of their shares of stock for Enron common stock, was removed from the Circuit Court of the State of Oregon for the County of Multnomah to the Bankruptcy Division of the United States District Court for the District of Oregon. The reference to the bankruptcy court was then withdrawn by the district court and subsequently, based on "related to" bankruptcy jurisdiction, and this act was transferred to this Court by the Multidistrict Litigation Panel as a tag-along case to MDL 1446 because it is related to the collapse of Enron Corporation.
To insure that this case receives all relevant pleadings and orders, the Court
ORDERS that the docketing clerk shall henceforth designate H-04-00122 as a "coordinated case" in conjunction with Newby and shall enter it as such on the docket sheet of Newby.
The Court further find that the agreed motion to extend time to respond to the complaint by July 10, 2003 (instrument #2 in H-04-0122) is MOOT. The Court further
ORDERS that Defendants shall file answers to Plaintiff's complaint within twenty days of receipt of this order to facilitate discovery while Plaintiff's motion to remand or abstain is pending. Counsel shall inform themselves by contacting Newby Lead Counsel regarding the current discovery proposals.
