UPDATE [January 6, 2025]: Court Grants Eli Lilly’s Motion to Join OFA vs. FDA Case
In a significant development, the court has officially allowed Eli Lilly to join the ongoing lawsuit between the Outsourcing Facilities Association (OFA) and the FDA. While the OFA initially opposed Lilly’s involvement, they later withdrew their objection, and the court agreed that Lilly’s participation is justified.

Although this decision resolves one major issue, the court is keeping the hearing scheduled for January 10, 2025, to address two critical points:
FDA Document Disputes: The court anticipates disagreements between the parties over how confidential FDA documents will be shared with the OFA. These documents are key to shaping the next steps in the case.
Combining Legal Issues: The court is considering turning the OFA’s planned request for a preliminary injunction into a motion for summary judgment. If this happens, the court could potentially decide the entire case sooner than later, based on the law, without the need for a full trial.
The January 10 hearing will focus on ironing out the schedule for sharing documents and discussing whether the case should move straight to a summary judgment. This could accelerate the lawsuit’s resolution but will require all parties to come fully prepared for these discussions.
