Memorandum and Opinion Filed in Rhodes v. Bristol-Myers Squibb Company in SDNY

Rhodes sued Bristol-Myers Squibb Company in the Southern District of New York, docket number 25-cv-06269. The case remains active, but no judge has been assigned yet. The dispute centers on claims against Bristol-Myers Squibb, though the specific allegations have not been publicly detailed.

On May 12, 2026, the court issued a memorandum and opinion, signaling a substantive ruling or procedural decision. This opinion may clarify the court’s stance on key motions or narrow the issues for trial. The absence of a judge assignment suggests the case is still in early stages, possibly awaiting further administrative steps or party submissions.

The opinion’s content will guide the next phase, potentially affecting discovery or dispositive motions. The case’s development will hinge on how the parties respond to the court’s recent opinion and whether a judge is assigned promptly. Watch for a judge assignment and any follow-up filings that respond to or seek reconsideration of the May 12 opinion.

These steps will shape the litigation’s trajectory and timing.
