Case No. C-07-00381 SBA 

CLASS ACTION

STIPULATED REQUEST TO CONTINUE 

INITIAL CASE MANAGEMENT 

CONFERENCE AND ADR DEADLINES; 

ORDER

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED 

Plaintiff Karol Juskiewicz (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Nvidia Corporation 

(“Nvidia”), ATI Technologies ULC and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (collectively “AMD”) 

hereby jointly request the Court to continue the initial case management conference and related 

deadlines in this action as follows. 

1. On January 19, 2007, Plaintiff filed the complaint in this action 

(“Complaint”), which alleges claims under Section 1 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1. 

Plaintiff styled the Complaint as a putative class action.

2. As of the date of this Stipulation, at least 42 other complaints have been 

filed in this and other judicial districts. All of these complaints also allege federal and/or state 

law antitrust claims against Nvidia and AMD and are styled as putative class actions. 

3. On December 8, 2006, plaintiffs in some of the other actions pending in 

this district filed a motion before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML” or 

“Panel”) to transfer and consolidate in this judicial district all existing and subsequently filed 

antitrust actions related to the claims alleged in the Complaint (“JPML Motion”). The JPML 

Motion is currently pending in In re Graphics Processing Units Antitrust Litigation, MDL 

Docket No. 1826. 

4. On January 16, 2007, AMD and Nvidia filed a response with the JPML 

supporting consolidation and transfer of these actions to the Northern District of California, San 

Jose Division, or, in the alternative, in the Northern District of California, San Francisco 

Division. To date, every party responding to the JPML Motion has supported consolidation and 

transfer. No party has opposed consolidation and transfer. 

5. Oral argument on the JPML Motion is scheduled for March 29, 2007 in 

San Antonio, Texas. The parties agree that, at some point subsequent to that hearing, the JPML 

is likely to order transfer and consolidation of these actions. 

6. In light of these facts, Plaintiff and Defendants stipulated in February 2007 

to extend the time for Defendants to respond to the Complaint to 30 days after (1) the order 

resolving the JPML motion and (2) the filing and service of any subsequent consolidated 

complaint, without prejudice to the right of Nvidia or AMD to seek additional time to answer or 

otherwise respond to the Complaint for good cause shown. 

7. Given the March 29, 2007 hearing date before the JPML, the dates set 

forth in the Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR Deadlines entered on 

January 19, 2007 (“January 19 Order”) and the Clerk’s Notice entered on February 16, 2007 

(“February 16 Order”), including the deadlines imposed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26, 

Local Rule 16, and ADR Local Rule 3.5, will come to pass either before or at about the same 

time the JPML acts on the pending motion.

8. Continuing the dates set forth in the January 19 Order and the February 16 

Order would avoid the expenditure of unnecessary judicial resources until it is determined 

whether this action will remain pending in this Court. It would also ensure consistency in 

pretrial rulings and be convenient for the parties, including Plaintiff. 

9. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that 

the Court order a continuance of the dates set forth in the January 19 Order and the February 16 

Order. The affected dates include (1) the deadline to meet and confer re: initial disclosures, early 

settlement, ADR process selection, and discovery plan (currently April 4, 2007); (2) file joint 

ADR documents (currently April 4, 2007); (3) complete initial disclosures and file the Case 

Management Statement and Rule 26(f) Report (currently April 18, 2007); and (4) the Initial Case 

Management Conference (currently April 26, 2007). 

10. The parties request that the Court continue the above referenced schedule 

as follows: (1) the deadline to meet and confer re: initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR 

process selection, and discovery plan – June 7, 2007; (2) file joint ADR documents – June 7, 

2007; (3) complete initial disclosures and file the Case Management Statement and Rule 26(f) 

Report – June 18, 2007; and (4) the Initial Case Management Conference – June 28, 2007 at 3:00 

p.m., via telephone. Such a continuance will allow this matter to move forward promptly in the 

event that the JPML Motion is denied and further proceedings before this Court are necessary. 

11. Except as described in Paragraph 6, the parties have sought no previous 

modification of the timing of any event or deadline set by the Court.
