STIPULATION TO MODIFY THE UNITED STATES’ TIME 

TO INTERVENE AND TO RESET HEARING ON MOTION

TO DISMISS AND CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

Plaintiff Christopher Kramer and Defendants Autobytel, Inc., B2Mobile, LLC, and 

LeadClick Media, Inc., stipulate as follows:

1. On July 14, 2010, Defendants B2Mobile, LLC and LeadClick Media filed 

separate Motions to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint, including a constitutional 

challenge to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (“TCPA”) (47 U.S.C. 227). (Dkt. Nos. 58 

& 66). 

2. On July 14, 2010, Plaintiff, B2Mobile, and LeadClick Media filed a signed 

stipulation setting forth an agreed briefing schedule for B2Mobile and LeadClick Media’s 

Motions to Dismiss, pursuant to which Plaintiff was required to file any opposition by August 9, 

2010, B2Mobile and LeadClick Media were required to file any reply to that opposition by 

August 26, 2010, and a hearing before this Court would be held on September 9, 2010. (Dkt. 

No. 61). 

3. On July 20, 2010, this Court issued a Certification Order pursuant to 28 U.S.C.A. 

Section 2403(a) and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.1, giving notice to the United States 

Attorney General of the present challenge to the TCPA. (Dkt. No. 71). Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 5.1 states:

Unless the court sets a later time, the attorney general may intervene within 60 days

after the notice is filed or after the court certifies the challenge, whichever is earlier. 

Before the time to intervene expires, the court may reject the constitutional challenge, 

but may not enter a final judgment holding the statute unconstitutional.

4. Pursuant to the stipulated briefing schedule, on August 9, 2010, Plaintiff 

Christopher Kramer filed a Combined Opposition to B2Mobile and LeadClick Media’s Motions 

to Dismiss. (Dkt. No. 78).

5. On August 11, 2010, the Parties were contacted by Kyle R. Freeny, of the 

Department of Justice, for the purpose of notifying the Parties of the United States’ interest in 

Case 4:10-cv-02722-CW Document 87 Filed 08/23/10 Page 2 of 4

intervening in the present case. Ms. Freeny further sought a thirty-day extension to decide 

whether the United States would intervene. 

6. In light of the United States’ pending decision to intervene, the Parties stipulate 

that the United States shall have until October 12, 2010, to decide if it will intervene and file any 

documents in support of its position.

7. Under FRCP 5.1, the Court is prohibited from granting Defendants’ constitutional 

challenge until September 20, 2010, at the earliest. Therefore, the Parties stipulate to continue 

both the hearing on the Motions to Dismiss (currently set for September 9, 2010) and the Case 

Management Conference (currently set for October 1, 2010) to November 18, 2010 at 2 P.M., or 

such other time as the Court deems appropriate. 

8. Pursuant to the stipulated briefing schedule, Defendants B2Mobile and LeadClick 

Media shall file their Replies to Plaintiff’s Opposition to their Motions to Dismiss either by 

August 26, 2010, as previously stipulated by the parties, or at such later date as the Court may 

determine after hearing the anticipated motion by B2Mobile and LeadClick to enlarge time.

9. Notwithstanding the above revised schedule, the Parties stipulate that Defendants 

B2Mobile and LeadClick Media may reply, on or before November 1, 2010, in response to any 

documents filed by the United States on or before October 12, 2010.
