pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, or (2) 45 days after the JPML rules 

on a motion pending in In re International Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust 

Litigation (MDL No. 1793) and a consolidated complaint is filed by all Plaintiffs 

in the single transferee Court and served on the Defendant. Plaintiff Alfred 

Martini has consented to the requested extension. In support of this stipulation, the 

parties state: 

1. The Complaint in this matter was filed on June 23, 2006. It seeks 

relief under the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act against three defendants on 

behalf of a putative class. 

2. Nearly 50 similar actions have been filed in various jurisdictions 

around the country. 

3. There is a motion pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict 

Litigation (“JPML”) to consolidate and transfer actions like this one to a single 

venue. The JPML is considering this motion to consolidate in a matter captioned 

In re Passenger Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 

1793. 

4. The parties have agreed that this stipulation does not constitute a 

waiver of any defenses, including but not limited to, the defenses of lack of 

personal jurisdiction, lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or improper venue. The 

Defendants expressly reserve their right to raise all defenses in response to either 

the current complaint or any consolidated amended complaint that may 

subsequently be filed relating to this action. 

WHEREFORE, the parties request that this Court order that the time in 

which Defendants must answer or otherwise respond to this matter is the later of 

(1) the date when the Defendant would otherwise be required to file a response 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, or (2) 45 days after the JPML rules 

on a motion pending in In re Passenger Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust
