WHEREAS, on June 1, 2006, Plaintiff filed a Shareholder Derivative Complaint 

(“Complaint”) in this Court; 

WHEREAS, on June 27, 2006, Plaintiff filed an Administrative Motion To Consider 

Whether Cases Should Be Related seeking an order designating two cases – this Action and Dukes 

v. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., No. C-01-02252 MJJ (the “Dukes Action”) – as “related cases” within 

the meaning of Local Rule 3-12(a); 

WHEREAS, defendants (including nominal defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc.) in this 

Action and the Dukes Action filed briefs in opposition to Plaintiff’s administrative motion; 

WHEREAS plaintiff and defendants entered into an agreement pursuant to which 

defendants accepted service through counsel and the parties agreed that answers or motions to 

dismiss would be filed on or before August 22, 2006; 

WHEREAS, on August 22, 2006, as required and in accordance with the parties' 

scheduling stipulation, a motion to dismiss the Complaint (and supporting papers) was filed; 

WHEREAS, on August 25, 2006, the Court requested that the motion to dismiss be 

withdrawn pending a ruling on the Administrative Motion and re-filed following a ruling on the 

Administrative Motion; 

WHEREAS, on December 5, 2006, the Court denied plaintiff’s Administrative Motion; 

WHEREAS, defendants have informed plaintiff that defendants intend to re-file defendants’ motion to dismiss the Complaint (and supporting papers); 

WHEREAS, the parties agree that it is appropriate to set a briefing and hearing schedule 

which allocates time in an efficient and equitable manner and that would allow the parties to fully 

brief the legal issues raised by the Complaint; 

WHEREAS the parties have considered travel schedules and holidays and the Court’s 

availability for a hearing in agreeing on a schedule; 

WHEREAS, plaintiff reserves the right to seek discovery and additional time in order to 

respond to the motion to dismiss, and defendants believe that plaintiff is not entitled to discovery 

prior to the Court’s ruling on the motion to dismiss;
