STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER FOR CONSOLIDATED BRIEFING

CASE NO. C07 0943 WHA 

Plaintiffs Bernard Paul Parrish, Herbert Anthony Adderley, and Walter Roberts III, on 

behalf of themselves and all others similarly situated, (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), and Defendants 

National Football League Players Association (“NFLPA”) and National Football League Players 

Incorporated d/b/a Players Inc (“Players Inc”) (collectively, “Defendants”) hereby file this Joint 

Stipulation for Plaintiffs to file a consolidated Opposition and Defendants to file a consolidated 

Reply in connection with Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss. 

JOINT STIPULATION

WHEREAS Plaintiffs filed their Second Amended Complaint on June 21, 2007; 

WHEREAS, on July 6, 2007, Defendants each filed a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ 

Second Amended Complaint Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(6), which Motions are currently 

scheduled for hearing on August 30, 2007; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ deadline to oppose Defendants’ Motions is August 9, and 

Defendants’ deadline to file their Reply briefs is August 16; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs contend that the issues raised in Defendants’ Motions are 

overlapping and believe that for clarity, ease of reference and judicial economy, it would be 

preferable to file a single consolidated Opposition brief not to exceed forty-five (45) pages 

instead of two Opposition briefs of up to twenty-five (25) pages each; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs have asked, and Defendants have agreed, that Plaintiffs be allowed 

to file one consolidated Opposition brief not to exceed forty-five (45) pages; 

WHEREAS, in exchange, Defendants have asked, and Plaintiffs have agreed, that 

Defendants be allowed to file one consolidated Reply brief not to exceed thirty (30) pages;
