Judge Furman Won't Remove Lead Plaintiffs' Counsel in GM Ignition Switch MDL

Yesterday, Judge Furman rejected an attempt to unseat the lead plaintiffs' counsel in the GM ignition switch multidistrict litigation (see our previous post on the motion here).  Judge Furman described the allegations that lead counsel had mismanaged the bellwether trial schedule in order to maximize fees as "sometimes wild" and "Monday morning quarterbacking."  Judge Furman denied the motion in a short order, with a longer opinion to follow.
