OPINION OF THE COURT
Joseph J. Maltese, J.
This court denies the defendants’ motion to dismiss 924 out-of-state plaintiffs from the 1,117 OxyContin drug cases that have been filed as part of the coordinated products liability actions because New York is an inconvenient forum in which to conduct discovery and ultimately jury trials.
However, the 924 non-New York plaintiffs shall post security for the potential costs that may be awarded the defendants in the event that they are unsuccessful in their actions, pursuant to Civil Practice Law and Rules § 8501.
