RECITALS

A. On March 19, 2007, various Verizon defendants filed a motion for leave to file a 95-

page brief in support of their Motion To Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Master Consolidated Complaint

(“Motion To Dismiss Master Complaint”).

B. On March 21, 2007, the Verizon and MCI Plaintiffs opposed that motion, proposing

that Verizon be allowed to file a brief of not more than 40 pages and requesting that they be granted

the same number of pages for their opposition to the Motion To Dismiss Master Complaint as

Verizon is permitted for the brief in support of the Motion.

C. On March 22, 2007, the moving Verizon defendants filed a reply indicating that they

did not object to Plaintiffs receiving the same number of pages for their opposition to the Motion To

Dismiss Master Complaint as Verizon is permitted for the brief in support of the Motion.

D. Counsel for the moving Verizon defendants and the Verizon and MCI Plaintiffs have

had further discussions regarding Verizon’s motion and wish to agree on page limitations without

requiring the involvement of the Court.

STIPULATION

Verizon Communications Inc., Verizon Northwest Inc., and MCI Communications Services,

Inc. (“Verizon”),

1/

through their counsel, and the Verizon and MCI Plaintiffs, through Interim Class

Counsel for the Verizon Class and Interim Class Counsel for the MCI Class, hereby stipulate to the

following page limits and ask that the Court make this stipulation an order of the Court:

1. Verizon shall be permitted to file a brief not to exceed 50 pages in support of its

Motion To Dismiss Master Complaint.

2. The Verizon and MCI Plaintiffs shall be permitted to file a brief not to exceed 50

pages in opposition to Verizon’s Motion To Dismiss Master Complaint.

3. Verizon shall be permitted to file a reply brief not to exceed 30 pages in support of its

Motion To Dismiss Master Complaint.

 

1/ As noted in Verizon’s original motion for leave to file a 95-page brief, Verizon

Communications Inc., MCI, LLC, and Verizon Global Networks Inc. intend to file a separate motion

to dismiss based on lack of personal jurisdiction.
