We previously reported on the multiple data breach litigation suits filed against Medical Informatics Engineering, Inc. following a data breach in May, 2015.

On December 10, 2015, the United States Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized the nine pending suits—five pending in the Northern District of Indiana, one in the Southern District of California, one in the Southern District of Indiana, one in the District of Kansas, and one in the Western District of Washington, along with twelve related actions pending in the Middle District of Florida and the Northern and Southern Districts of Indiana and transferred them to the Northern District of Indiana.

The Court reasoned that the majority of the actions are pending in the Northern District of Indiana, that is where the Medical Informatics is headquartered, “and where many of the healthcare providers (and individuals) affected by the data breach are located.”
