STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR VERIZON DEFENDANTS TO RESPOND TO COMPLAINTS

RECITALS 

A. On September 1, 2006, the Court granted the Administrative Motion of AT&T 

and Verizon Defendants to Vacate Pending Filing Deadlines in Cases Transferred by the Judicial 

Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. In that Order, the Court stated “[a]ll pending filing deadlines 

for cases transferred to this court pursuant to MDL 1791 are hereby vacated until further order of 

court.” Dkt. 19. 

B. On February 15, 2007, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ordered the 

transfer of United States v. Palermino, No. 07-1326; United States v. Adams, No. 07-1323; 

United States v. Gaw, No. 07-1242; Clayton v. AT&T Communications of the Southwest, Inc., 

No. 07-1187; United States v. Rabner, No. 07-1324; and United States v. Volz, No. 07-1396 (the 

“Federal-State Cases”) to this Court for inclusion in MDL 1791. Dkt. 173. 

C. On July 24, 2007, the Court denied without prejudice the United States’ motions 

for summary judgment and denied as moot the State Defendants’ motions for summary judgment 

in the Federal-State Cases. The Court further ordered that “[a]fter the Ninth Circuit issues an 

order in Hepting, the parties may renotice their cross motions.” Dkt. 334. 

D. On August 20, 2007, the Court entered an Order providing that the AT&T and 

Cingular defendants in the Federal-State Cases need not respond to the complaints until further 

order of the Court. Dkt. 352.

E. Both judicial and party economy are served by similarly deferring the Verizon 

Defendants’ obligation to respond to the complaints in Palermino, Adams, Rabner, and Volz

until further order of the Court after the Ninth Circuit has provided further guidance and this 

Court has considered and resolved any renewal of the cross motions originally heard on June 21, 

2007. 

STIPULATION 

The United States and the Verizon Defendants hereby stipulate that the Verizon 

Defendants need not answer or otherwise respond to the complaints in Palermino, Adams, 

Rabner, and Volz until a time determined by further order of this Court
