April 2022: The MDL Paraquat class action judge will have a status conference on April 1st to review where the litigation is headed and how best to take the bellwether lawsuits forward for trial in November 2022. 44 new paraquat lawsuits have been added to the MDL in the last two weeks. At this pace, April 2022 will be the busiest month for new files yet. Last week, the parties filed their class-action bellwether picks with the Paraquat MDL judge. Those choices, however, have not been made public.

May 2022: In the last month, over 50 new cases have been added to the Paraquat Lawsuit Multidistrict Litigation (MDL). A group of six patients was recently selected by the Paraquat MDL court for the initial Paraquat Parkinson's disease bellwether trials. As a result, the first trial in November 2022 is approaching soon. The strategy is to select 16 paraquat claims from among the almost 1000 Parkinson's disease litigation claims filed. Following some limited fact discovery in these instances, paraquat attorneys on both sides submitted a preference list to the MDL court, ranking the 16 cases in order of priority. Attorneys for plaintiffs seek the finest facts for their clients, while defense attorneys want the worst. The judge whittled the list down to six Paraquat claims based on these rankings.

David Lane Braff Jr., a former elementary school counselor who later worked as an assistant principal in Los Angeles, was arrested on November 22, 2024 and initially charged with 17 felony counts of committing lewd acts upon children under 14. The Ventura County District Attorney alleged the abuse occurred while Braff served as a counselor at McKevett Elementary School in Santa Paula between 2015 and 2019. At the time of his arrest, Braff was employed as an assistant principal and school counselor at Ingenium Charter Middle School in the San Fernando Valley. On April 29, 2025, prosecutors filed an amended complaint after five additional alleged victims were identified—four tied to McKevett Elementary and one connected to Braff’s earlier work for the Conejo Recreation and Park District in Thousand Oaks. The filing expanded the case to 31 felony counts involving 13 alleged victims spanning multiple years and settings. The allegations continued to grow in fall 2025. On October 22, prosecutors filed a second amended complaint alleging two more victims, one tied to McKevett Elementary and another to Bright Star Schools in Los Angeles, where Braff worked from roughly 2019 to 2021. With that filing, Braff now faces 33 felony counts related to 15 alleged victims. Over the last two decades, Braff has also been employed by Conejo Recreation and Park District, Conejo Valley Unified School District, Moorpark Unified School District, the ABA Network in Thousand Oaks, Rio School District, Sports Academy in Thousand Oaks, Ventura Unified School District and Ingenium Charter Middle School in Canoga Park.
