THE PARTIES, BY AND THROUGH THEIR RESPECTIVE ATTORNEYS OF

RECORD, HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS:

The parties to this action respectfully move this Court for an extension of time for

Defendants to answer, move or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ complaint, pending

transfer of this matter to a Multi-District Litigation (“MDL”) proceeding pending in Las

Vegas, Nevada. As grounds for this Motion, Defendants state as follows:

1. Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in this action on November 27, 2006.

Defendants’ answer or other response to the Complaint is due on or before December 21,

2006.

2. On November 29, 2006, Plaintiffs filed a Notice of Related Action with the

MDL Panel seeking to transfer this case to be part of a multi-district litigation

proceeding, In re Wal-Mart Employment Practices Litigation, MDL Docket # 1735,

pending in Las Vegas, Nevada.

3. Defendants believe that this case will be transferred to MDL Docket # 1735

in the near future.

4. The Court in MDL Docket # 1735 has entered an order which provides that

answers, motions or other responsive pleadings to complaints that are already part of an

MDL Docket # 1735 or which will be transferred to MDL Docket # 1735 in the future,

are not due until a date to be set by that Court after it rules on a pending Motion to

Dismiss. A copy of the Order is attached hereto as Exhibit A.

5. In light of the pending request for transfer, and in light of the MDL Court’s

Order regarding the deadline for Defendants to file responsive pleadings, Defendants

respectfully request that the deadline for Defendants to answer, move or otherwise

respond to the Complaint in this case be deferred until after this case has been transferred

to MDL Docket # 1735 in Nevada.
