consolidated complaint or designate a previously-filed complaint as the operative complaint (the 

"Consolidated Complaint"), which will supersede all existing complaints filed in the Related 

Actions and any other action that may be consolidated herewith. To the extent any defendant 

now named in any of the Related Actions is not named in the Consolidated Complaint, the 

claims against such defendant shall be deemed dismissed without prejudice. Service shall be 

effected with respect to any named defendant by serving the Consolidated Complaint on that 

defendant's counsel, unless such defendant has not previously been served or appeared, in which 

case service shall be affected according to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

12. Unless the Court otherwise orders pursuant to stipulation, motion, or for any other

the Consolidated Complaint, the opposition brief shall be filed within sixty (60) days of the 

motions and the reply briefs shall be filed within thirty (30) days thereafter. This Stipulation is 

without prejudice to any party's right to move to continue any response(s) to the Consolidated 

Complaint pursuant to the federal and local rules. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
