STIPULATION OF EXTENSION OF TIME FOR DEFENDANT WAL-MART STORES, INC.

AND [PROPOSED] ORDER, CASE NO. 01-CV-2252-CRB - 2 - 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15(a)(2); 

WHEREAS, Wal-Mart’s consent to the filing of the Fourth Amended Complaint shall not 

be construed as expressing agreement or disagreement with any factual allegation or legal theory 

set forth therein, such matters to be resolved in the appropriate course following the filing of the 

Fourth Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Wal-Mart have reached an agreement, pursuant to Civil L.R. 

6-1(a), to extend the time within which Wal-Mart must answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ 

Fourth Amended Complaint and that a corresponding amount of additional time should be 

provided to Plaintiffs to address any motion by Wal-Mart regarding Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amended 

Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Wal-Mart further agree that to avoid potentially redundant 

motion practice, briefing, or responsive pleadings, any motion challenging the Fourth Amended 

Complaint should be resolved by the Court prior to the filing of an Answer by Wal-Mart; 

WHEREAS, this extension will not alter the date of any event or any deadline already 

fixed by the Court; 

THEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Wal-Mart stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs may file the Fourth Amended Complaint on October 27, 2011, pursuant 

to Rule 15(a)(2); 

2. The deadline by which Wal-Mart must answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ 

Fourth Amended Complaint is extended to January 6, 2012; 

3. Should Wal-Mart move against the Fourth Amended Complaint within the time 

period specified in paragraph 2, an opposition to any such motion shall be filed no later than 

March 16, 2012, and a reply, if one is to be filed, shall be filed no later than April 13, 2012;
