A federal judge in Texas immediately stayed Johnson & Johnson’s latest talc bankruptcy after dual motions were filed to transfer the Chapter 11 case to New Jersey.
At a Monday hearing, U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez, of the Southern District of Texas, ordered the automatic stay after motions to change venue were filed – one before him, and one before Chief U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Michael Kaplan, who oversaw Johnson & Johnson’s two previous talc bankruptcies.
