RECITALS 

A. On May 26, 2006, plaintiffs Tom Campbell; George Main; Dennis P.

Riordan; Margaret Russell; Robert Scheer; Peter Sussman; Richard Belzer; Marc

Cooper; Stephen J. Mather; Sandra Richards; Curren Warf; American Civil

Liberties Union Of Northern California; ACLU Of Southern California; American

Civil Liberties Union Of San Diego/Imperial Counties (collectively, “Plaintiffs”), filed

this action against defendants AT&T Communications of California; AT&T Corp. and 

specially appearing defendant AT&T Inc.1 (collectively, “Defendants”). Defendants were 

served with a summons and a copy of Plaintiffs’ Verified Complaint for Injunctive and 

Declaratory Relief (“Complaint”) on June 5, 2006, and removed the case to this Court on 

June 6, 2006. Under Rule 12(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Defendants have 

until June 26, 2006 to respond to the Complaint. 

B. Defendants intend to move this Court to stay this action pending the 

resolution of a motion pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation. See In 

re National Security Agency Telecommunications Records Litigation, MDL Docket No. 

1791. 

C. Plaintiffs intend to move this Court to remand this action to San Francisco 

Superior Court. 

In light of the foregoing, Plaintiffs and Defendants, through their respective counsel, 

hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that 

1. Defendants will notice their motion to stay for hearing on August 17, 2006. 

Defendants will file and serve their motion and supporting papers on or before June 30. 

Plaintiffs will have until July 20 to file and serve their opposition papers. Defendants will 

have until August 3, 2006 to file and serve their reply papers. 

1

 AT&T Inc. contends that it is purely a holding company that does not operate 

telecommunications facilities in California, and therefore is not subject to personal 

jurisdiction in California.
