The second federal bellwether trial over Roundup herbicide, originally scheduled for March 23, is now on hold to give lawyers more time to negotiate a settlement of thousands of lawsuits.

In a Thursday order, U.S. District Judge Vince Chhabria of the Northern District of California vacated the trial, which would have been the second in the multidistrict litigation alleging Roundup caused non-Hodgkin lymphoma. A federal jury in the first bellwether trial last year awarded $80 million to a man who claimed he got the deadly cancer from exposure to Roundup, made by Monsanto, which is owned by Bayer AG.
