[PROPOSED] ORDER

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1(b) and 6-2 of the United States District Court for the 

Northern District of California, the following parties hereby stipulate to continuing the deadlines 

set forth in the Case Management Scheduling Order filed October 19, 2006 for the following

fixing by manufacturers of Static Random Access Memory (“SRAM”) (collectively, the 

“SRAM cases”). 

2. There is currently pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation 

(“JPML”) a request pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407 to consolidate in this district the SRAM cases 

filed here and in other districts nationwide. 

3. On December 14, 2006, the JPML issued a Notice of Hearing Session stating 

that the request to consolidate the SRAM cases will be heard by the JPML on January 25, 2007 

(MDL 1819). 

4. The parties agree that, at some point subsequent to that hearing, the JPML is 

likely to grant the transfer and coordination or consolidation request. 

5. In light of the pending request before the JPML, Plaintiffs and Defendants 

Micron Technology, Inc. and Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc. stipulated on November 13, 

2006 to extend the time for these Defendants to respond to the Complaint in the abovecaptioned action to the earlier of the following two dates: (1) thirty days after the filing of a 

Consolidated Amended Complaint in the SRAM cases; or (2) thirty days after Plaintiffs provide 

written notice that they do not intend to file a Consolidated Amended Complaint, provided that 

such notice may be given only at or after the initial case management conference in the MDL 

transferee court in this case. All other defendants in this case, including Integrated Device 

Technology, Inc., joined in that Stipulation. There have not been any other time modifications 

in this case. 

6. Given the January 25, 2007 hearing date for MDL 1819, the dates set forth in 

the Case Management Scheduling Order filed October 19, 2006, including deadlines imposed 

by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26, Local Rule 16, and ADR Local Rule 3.5, will come to 

pass before the JPML acts on the pending request. 

7. Continuing the dates set forth in the Case Management Scheduling Order filed 

October 19, 2006 would promote judicial efficiency, allow consistency in pretrial rulings, and 

be most convenient to the parties, including the Plaintiffs in the above-captioned action.

8. Accordingly, the parties hereby STIPULATE to and respectfully request the 

Court to CONTINUE the dates set forth in the Case Management Scheduling Order filed 

October 19, 2006. The affected dates include the deadline to meet and confer and file Joint 

ADR Certification (currently January 5, 2007); the deadline to complete Initial Disclosures, the 

Joint Case Management Statement, and the Rule 26(f) Report (currently January 19, 2007); and 

the Initial Case Management Conference (currently January 26, 2007). The parties propose 

extending these dates to April 6, 2007, April 20, 2007, and April 27, 2007, respectively.
