STIPULATION TO TRIAL OF ALL ISSUES BY COURT SITTING WITHOUT A JURY; 

ORDER 

Clyde & Co US LLP, hereby stipulate as follows. 

WHEREAS, on April 9, 2015, the Court issued a Pretrial Scheduling Order 

in this case; 

WHEREAS, in connection with the Pretrial Scheduling Order, the Court has 

noted that, in the parties' Joint Status Report, plaintiff has demanded a jury trial but 

Emirates has contended that plaintiff is not entitled to a jury trial because Emirates 

is an agency or instrumentality of a foreign state; 

WHEREAS, the Court issued an Order dated April 9, 2015, requesting 

briefing as to whether plaintiff is entitled to a jury trial; and 

WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred regarding the issue of 

whether plaintiff is entitled to a jury trial and have agreed as follows. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between plaintiff and Emirates that: 

1. Emirates is an agency or instrumentality of a foreign state pursuant to 

 28 U.S.C. Section 1603(a); 

2. The trial of this case on all issues should be by the Court sitting 

without a jury pursuant to 28 U.S.C. Sections 1330(a) and 1441(d); 

and 

3. Good cause exists for the Court to vacate its Order dated April 9, 

2015, requiring briefing by the parties on the foregoing issues. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
