STIPULATION TO CONTINUE BRIEFING ON DEFENDANT OTSUKA PHARMACEUTICAL CO., LTD.’S MOTION TO DISMISS 

PLAINTIFFS’ COMPLAINT FOR LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION; CASE NO. 1:16-CV-00357-LJO-BAM

This stipulation in the above-captioned matter is made by and between the attorneys for 

Plaintiffs Karen Reynolds and Delmar Scott Reynolds (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Otsuka 

Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (“Defendant”). 

WHEREAS, Defendant filed a motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint for lack of personal 

jurisdiction under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(2) (ECF 19), to which Plaintiffs filed an 

opposition (ECF 27), and in further support of which Defendant filed a reply (ECF 39); and

WHEREAS, Defendant and Plaintiffs stipulated to continue the hearing date on Defendant’s 

motion to permit jurisdictional discovery and supplemental briefing (ECF 40); and

WHEREAS, in light of said stipulation, the Court entered an order vacating the scheduled 

hearing date and permitting Plaintiffs to submit a supplemental opposition by July 12, 2016 and 

Defendant to submit a supplemental reply by July 19, 2016, after which filings the Court would take 

the matter under submission on the papers (ECF 41); and

WHEREAS, on June 24, 2016, the parties to this case and 25 other similar cases pending in 

federal courts nationwide filed a Joint Motion to Transfer before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict 

Litigation to transfer all of the pending cases into a multidistrict litigation; and

WHEREAS, on June 29, 2016, all defendants in this case filed an unopposed motion to stay 

proceedings pending a decision by the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation on the Joint Motion 

to Transfer (ECF 45); and 

WHEREAS, the motion to stay is noticed for hearing on July 28, 2016 (ECF 45);

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and between the attorneys for the parties 

hereto, that the Court should continue the supplemental briefing deadlines currently scheduled for 

July 12, 2016 (Plaintiffs) and July 19, 2016 (Defendant) to August 18, 2016 (Plaintiffs) and August 

25, 2016 (Defendant), respectively, to permit resolution first of the motion to stay.

This is the parties’ first request to continue the briefing dates on Defendant’s Motion to 

Dismiss Plaintiffs’ Complaint for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. The parties previously requested to 

continue the hearing date and to permit supplemental briefing on the motion. All parties agree to 

this stipulation, and the stipulation does not affect any other previously scheduled dates.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
