 Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1, and in light of the February 19, 2008 Judicial Panel on 

Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) Transfer Order consolidating this case and the other 

Transpacific Passenger Air cases, Plaintiffs Donald Wortman, William Adams, and Margaret

hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that Defendant’s time to answer, move or 

otherwise plead is enlarged until either: (1) 45 days after plaintiffs in the Transpacific Passenger 

Air cases file and serve a consolidated amended complaint; or, (2) 45 days after plaintiffs in the 

Transpacific Passenger Air cases provide notice that a consolidated amended complaint will not 

be filed. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that Defendant Cathay Pacific Airways 

Ltd. shall not contest sufficiency of process or service of process of the complaint filed in the 

above-captioned action. This Stipulation does not constitute a waiver by Cathay Pacific Airways 

Ltd. of any other defense, including but not limited to the defenses of lack of personal 

jurisdiction, subject matter jurisdiction, or improper venue. Nothing in this paragraph shall 

obligate Defendant to answer, move, or otherwise respond to any complaint until the time 

provided in the preceding paragraph. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
