Stip. and [Proposed] Order Regarding Motion to Dismiss, Motion to Transfer, and Jurisdictional Discovery.: Case No. 3:16-cv-02788-WHA 

jurisdictional discovery and further briefing, and (iii) denied the motion to transfer or stay, 

reserving on a final determination on the issue until after jurisdictional discovery was concluded 

and the personal jurisdiction issue regarding QIAGEN N.V. was resolved [Dkt. No. 64]; 

WHEREAS, while QIAGEN N.V. does not believe it has sufficient contacts with 

California or the United States for general or specific personal jurisdiction, due to and to avoid the 

further burden and expense of continued, expedited jurisdictional discovery in this case, QIAGEN 

N.V. thereby has offered to withdraw its motion to dismiss and submit to the jurisdiction of this 

Court for the limited purpose of this particular case; 

WHEREAS, while plaintiffs believe this Court has personal jurisdiction over QIAGEN 

N.V. and contested QIAGEN N.V.'s motion to dismiss, they support the final resolution of the 

personal jurisdiction issue in this case by stipulation and without the need for further Court 

involvement. 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE, subject to the 

approval and order of the Court, as follows: 

1. QIAGEN N.V. withdraws its motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction in 

this case [Dkt. No. 31]. 

2. Plaintiffs withdraw their jurisdictional discovery requests served on QIAGEN 

N.V., namely Plaintiffs’ Jurisdictional Discovery Document Requests to QIAGEN N.V. (Nos. 1-

12); Plaintiffs’ Jurisdictional Discovery Interrogatories to QIAGEN N.V. (Nos. 1-12); and 

Plaintiffs' requests for jurisdictional discovery depositions. 

3. QIAGEN N.V. withdraws its motion to dismiss with the understanding that there 

will be no supplement to the current record and the Court’s interim order denying the motion to 

transfer can become final. 

4. In light of this stipulation, there is no need for further jurisdictional discovery or 

briefing, or for the jurisdictional hearing set for October 13, 2016. 

5. The parties shall bear their own fees and costs.
