Mealey's (November 16, 2016, 11:13 AM EST) -- LOS ANGELES — A California federal judge on Nov. 14 granted a motion to remand a case alleging injuries caused by birth control, which had originally been filed as seven cases that were consolidated by a California trial court, finding that the sua sponte consolidation was a judicial mandate, not a proposal to have the cases tried jointly (Jacqueline Alexander, et al. v. Bayer Corp., et al., No. 16-6822, C.D. Calif.; 2016 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 157295)....
