TIME TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINT - CASE NO. 06-05930-CRB 

this matter until the later of (1) the date when Defendants would otherwise be 

required to file a response pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, or (2) 45 

days after the JPML rules on a motion pending in In re International Air 

Transportation Surcharge Antitrust Litigation (MDL No. 1793) and a consolidated 

complaint is filed by all Plaintiffs in the single transferee Court and served on 

Defendants. Plaintiff Nicole Mills has consented to the requested extension. In 

support of this stipulation, the parties state: 

1. The Complaint in this matter was filed on September 25, 2006. It seeks 

relief under the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act against six named defendants on 

behalf of a putative class. 

2. Nearly 95 similar actions have been filed in various jurisdictions around 

the country. 

3. There is a motion pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict 

Litigation (“JPML”) to consolidate and transfer actions like this one to a single 

venue. The JPML considered the motion to consolidate in a matter captioned In re 

Passenger Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 1793, at its 

September 28, 2006 hearing. 

4. The parties have agreed that this stipulation does not constitute a waiver 

of any defenses, including but not limited to, the defenses of lack of personal 

jurisdiction, lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or improper venue. The Defendants 

expressly reserve their right to raise all defenses in response to either the current 

complaint or any consolidated amended complaint that may subsequently be filed 

relating to this action. 

THEREFORE, the parties request that this Court order that the time in which 

Defendants must answer or otherwise respond to this matter is the later of (1) the 

date when Defendants would otherwise be required to file a response pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, or (2) 45 days after the JPML rules on a motion
