JOINT STIPULATION 

Pursuant to Northern District Rule of California Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiffs in 

the above-captioned actions and Defendant Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”) (together, the “Parties”), 

by and through their respective counsel of record, submit the following stipulation and proposed 

order: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed their complaint in Holley, et al. v. Gilead Sciences, Inc., No. 

3:18-cv-06972-JST (“Holley”) on November 16, 2018; 

WHEREAS, on December 11, 2018, the Court set a briefing schedule for Gilead’s motion to 

dismiss the Holley complaint, whereby Gilead’s motion to dismiss was due January 25, 2019, 

Plaintiffs’ opposition brief is due March 11, 2019, and Gilead’s reply brief is due April 5, 2019; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed their complaint in Dowdy et al. v. Gilead Sciences, Inc., No. 

3:19-cv-00481-JST (“Dowdy”) on January 28, 2019; 

WHEREAS, on February 1, 2019, the Court entered an Order finding that Holley and Dowdy 

are related cases and reassigning Dowdy to this Court; 

WHEREAS, Gilead filed a motion to dismiss the Dowdy complaint on February 20, 2019, 

which is materially similar to the motion to dismiss it filed on January 25, 2019 in Holley; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ brief in opposition to the motion to dismiss the Dowdy complaint is 

currently due March 6, 2019, and Gilead’s reply brief is currently due March 13, 2019—before 

Plaintiffs’ opposition brief and Gilead’s reply brief are due in Holley; 

WHEREAS, the hearing on Gilead’s motion to dismiss in both Holley and Dowdy is set for 

April 25, 2019, at 2:00 PM; 

WHEREAS, on February 20, 2019, the Court issued a Case Management Order observing 

that, in light of the similarities between the motions to dismiss in Holley and Dowdy, the briefing on 

the motions to dismiss might be consolidated in order to conserve the Parties’ and the Court’s 

resources; 

WHEREAS, the Parties would like the motions to dismiss in Holley and Dowdy to be briefed 

on the same schedule; 

WHEREAS, this is the Parties’ first request for an extension of time in the Dowdy case;
