MULTIDISTRICT LITIGATION

IN RE: BLUE CROSS BLUE SHIELD ANTITRUST

LITIGATION MDL No. 2406

(SEE ATTACHED SCHEDULE)

CONDITIONAL TRANSFER ORDER (CTO —49)

On December 12, 2012, the Panel transferred 2 civil action(s) to the United States District Court for the

Northern District of Alabama for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §

1407. See 908 F.Supp.2d 1373 (J.P.M.L. 2012). Since that time, 88 additional action(s) have been transferred

to the Northern District of Alabama. With the consent of that court, all such actions have been assigned to the

Honorable Anna M. Manasco.

It appears that the action(s) on this conditional transfer order involve questions of fact that are common to the

actions previously transferred to the Northern District of Alabama and assigned to Judge Manasco.

Pursuant to Rule 7.1 of the Rules of Procedure of the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation,

the action(s) on the attached schedule are transferred under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 to the Northern District of

Alabama for the reasons stated in the order of December 12, 2012, and, with the consent of that court,

assigned to the Honorable Anna M. Manasco.

This order does not become effective until it is filed in the Office of the Clerk of the United States District

Court for the Northern District of Alabama. The transmittal of this order to said Clerk shall be stayed 7 days

from the entry thereof. If any party files a notice of opposition with the Clerk of the Panel within this 7-day

period, the stay will be continued until further order of the Panel.
