On July 31, 2017, U.S. District Judge Legrome Davis lauded Mark Landman in a written opinion approving the settlement. He found Mark “instrumental to a timely and fair disposition of this MDL” and thanked Mark and his counterparts for “exceptional” leadership and the parties for minimizing costs, “working together toward realizing shared goals and objectives as quickly as practicable,” and enhancing “the overall quality of the litigation process, and hopefully, public confidence in the court as an institution.”
