JOINT STIPULATION PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULES 6-1 AND 6-2 EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND TO 

COMPLAINT AND CONTINUING COURT-ORDERED DEADLINES AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

1

 Pursuant to Local Rules 6-1 and 6-2, and in light of the related “Motion for Transfer and 

Consolidation of Related Actions to the Northern District of California Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1407” now pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”), Plaintiff Meor 

Adlin (“Plaintiff”), and defendant Northwest Airlines (“Defendant”), through counsel, hereby 

stipulate and agree as follows: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that Defendant’s time to answer, move or 

otherwise plead is enlarged until the later of: (1) the date when Defendant would otherwise be 

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

the JPML grants, denies, or otherwise disposes of the pending motion. If a consolidated amended 

complaint is filed by Plaintiff in a single transferee Court and served on Defendant, and Plaintiff’s 

counsel is acting as Lead Counsel, Plaintiff agree that Defendants’ time to answer, move, or 

otherwise plead is enlarged until 45 days after such service. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that defense counsel shall accept service 

on behalf of Defendant of the summons and complaints in the above-captioned matter, including 

any amended or consolidated complaints, and further, that Defendant shall not contest sufficiency 

of process or service of process. This Stipulation does not constitute a waiver of any other 

defense including, but not limited to, the defenses of lack of personal or subject matter 

jurisdiction or improper venue. Nothing in this paragraph shall obligate Defendant to answer, 

move, or otherwise respond to any complaint until the time provided in the preceding paragraph. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that, given the length of time likely to 

be required by the JMPL to resolve the pending motion, the efficiency in having one case 

management schedule set for consolidated class actions rather than proceeding separately, and the 

desirability of having the court to whom the matter is ultimately assigned set its own case 

management schedule, Plaintiff and Defendant agree that the dates set in the December 19, 2007 

Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference (and the deadlines triggered by such 

conference) should be continued. The Initial Case Management Conference will be continued to 

a date within 45 days of the JPML granting, denying or otherwise disposing of the Section 1407
