Defendants maintain that the medication is safe and effective. A meningioma allegation is not a personal diagnosis or an automatic entitlement to compensation. Basis: [Court source](https://flnd.uscourts.gov/depo-provera-products-liability-litigation-mdl-no-3140). ## Verified index information - **Full title:** Depo-Provera (Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) Products Liability Litigation - **District:** FLN - **Master docket:** 3:25-md-3140 - **Judge:** Rodgers, M. Casey - **Index report date:** 2026-10-01 - **Report relationship:** Listed in this report - [JPML report](https://www.jpml.uscourts.gov/sites/jpml/files/Pending_MDL_Dockets_By_MDL_Type-October-1-2026.pdf#page=5) ## Preparation roadmap This is a preparation path, not a court schedule or a promise of a payout. 1. **Understand the matter.** Read the case overview and inspect its official sources. Keep allegations separate from findings. 2. **Explore your connection.** Use optional preparation questions. Interest in a matter is not proof of a claim. 3. **Build your record trail.** Product, medicine or device identity, if known. Add only what you already know or can verify. 4. **Make room for care.** Discuss health concerns independently of any legal claim. Clinical decisions belong with your care team. 5. **Choose professional review.** Start with your existing lawyer if represented. A lawyer reviews deadlines, jurisdiction and any filing or settlement options. ## Existing records that may help - Product, medicine or device identity, if known - An approximate timeline and existing receipts or records - Existing clinical reports and treating-team information ## Care information — separate from legal eligibility ### A conversation with your care team If you have a health concern, your existing clinician can review your history and decide whether specialist input is appropriate. Provider access, cost and clinical need depend on your situation. - Which existing records would help explain my concern? - Who should coordinate any follow-up I need? General information: [HRSA: finding affordable health care](https://www.hrsa.gov/get-health-care/affordable). This does not establish product-specific causation or an available appointment. Care may be accessed independently of a lawsuit. Provider fit, licensure, location, insurance, price and appointment availability have not been confirmed. Settlefy does not prescribe treatment, order tests, promise a cure or recommend stopping medication. Optional OPHealth: user-selected signed reports and measurements can be copied for private review. This is not a booked appointment, provider referral or ongoing medical monitoring. No record is sent to a lawyer through that connection. ## Research material and provenance ### Depo-Provera (Depot Medroxyprogesterone Acetate) Products Liability Litigation | Northern District of Florida | United States District Court - [Original source](https://flnd.uscourts.gov/depo-provera-products-liability-litigation-mdl-no-3140) - Access: Retrieved and text-extracted; current legal interpretation still needs professional review - Retrieved: 2026-10-28T23:20:22.728Z - SHA-256: e992e43c9cf6040d60e8e952951f22e73c8076fc3e4b91d7665c66b61c6a3b37 ### Case 3:25-md-03140-MCR-HTC Document 738 Filed 08/10/26 Page 1 of 29 - [Original source](https://www.flnd.uscourts.gov/sites/flnd/files/mdl/CMO%2014%20with%20Exhibits.pdf) - Access: Retrieved and text-extracted; current legal interpretation still needs professional review - Retrieved: 2026-10-28T23:20:24.182Z - SHA-256: 90ad6cd8165d3f6c25d03551d4b7d9eb90d489ce1f34fd903244621815d16fc3 - Text inspection: first 8 PDF pages; attachments or later pages may not be covered. ### Case 3:25-md-03140-MCR-HTC Document 531 Filed 01/26/26 Page 1 of 3 - [Original source](https://www.flnd.uscourts.gov/sites/flnd/files/mdl/2026.01.26%20-%20CMO%20No.%2010%20-%20Jan%2023%2026%20CMO%2010.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ### Case 3:25-md-03140-MCR-HTC Document 701 Filed 07/27/26 Page 1 of 6 - [Original source](https://www.flnd.uscourts.gov/sites/flnd/files/mdl/Case%20Management%20Order%20No%2012.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ### Case 3:25-md-03140-MCR-HTC Document 534 Filed 01/27/26 Page 1 of 6 - [Original source](https://www.flnd.uscourts.gov/sites/flnd/files/mdl/2026.01.27%20-%20325md3140%20-%20PTO%2030%20-%20%20Application%20of%20Rulings%20on%20Preemption%20and%20Rule%20702%20Mtn.pdf) - Access: Discovered official link; live retrieval or full review not completed - Retrieval date: not verified ## Research gaps and professional review - Verify the operative complaint, later amendments and current court orders. - Verify any settlement notice, administrator, release, deadline and currently open intake. - Obtain current counsel-approved screening criteria; no eligibility rules are approved here. - Have qualified clinicians review any clinical mapping; general care sources are not case criteria. ## Updates [Live case page and source-update coverage](https://settlefy.com/litigation/3140#case-updates).
