STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER RE RESPONSE TO SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT

CASE NO. 5:14-CV-03263

STIPULATION

WHEREAS:

1. On June 18, 2015, this Court issued an order granting defendants’ motion to dismiss 

plaintiffs’ first amended complaint and granting plaintiffs leave to file a second amended complaint 

by August 14, 2015. (Docket No. 30) 

2. Plaintiffs accordingly filed their second amended complaint on August 14, 2015. 

(Docket No. 32) 

3. Defendants expect that they will respond to the second amended complaint by again 

moving to dismiss. 

4. The briefing on defendants’ motion to dismiss may be complex. The parties wish to 

ensure that they have sufficient time to brief the issues in a way that will provide optimal assistance 

to the Court.

THE PARTIES THEREFORE STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 

1. Defendants’ response to the second amended complaint should be filed on or before 

October 2, 2015.

2. In the event that defendants’ response is a motion to dismiss, plaintiffs’ opposition to 

that motion should be filed on or before November 20, 2015, and defendants’ reply in support of the 

motion should be filed on or before December 15, 2015.
