Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“Walmart”) and Relator Adeline Johnson (“Relator”) through their 

respective counsel of record, stipulate and agree, pursuant to Local Rule 144(a), to a ten (10) day 

extension of time for Walmart to respond to Relator’s First Amended Complaint, from June 6, 

2016, to June 16, 2016, and to continue the hearing scheduled for June 17, 2016. 

In support of this stipulation, the parties state as follows: 

1. Counsel for Walmart has conferred with counsel for Relator, and Relator consents 

to this extension of time and to a continuance of the hearing scheduled for June 17, 2016. 

2. Relator filed her initial complaint in September 2013. It was unsealed in January 

2016, and Walmart was served on April 7, 2016. 

3. Walmart filed a motion to dismiss the complaint on April 27, 2016, and a hearing 

date was set for June 17, 2016. 

4. On May 19, 2016, Relator filed a First Amended Complaint, which moots 

Walmart’s pending motion to dismiss the original complaint. The First Amended Complaint is 

more than twice as long as the original complaint. 

5. Walmart’s response to the First Amended Complaint is currently due on June 6, 

2016. 

6. Walmart is still evaluating the First Amended Complaint but anticipates filing 

another motion to dismiss raising the same grounds for dismissal as in Walmart’s original motion 

to dismiss as well as some new grounds. 

7. The parties stipulate to a brief extension of time to allow Walmart to plan and 

coordinate its responsive pleading. 

8. The parties stipulate to continue the hearing on June 17, 2016, until after a motion 

to dismiss the First Amended Complaint is fully briefed or until after Walmart files an Answer. 

9. Counsel for relator has consented to both requests.
