STIPULATION TO VACATE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE AND 

ASSOCIATED DEADLINES

WHEREAS, defendants Sony Computer Entertainment America LLC (“SCEA”) and 

Sony Network Entertainment International LLC (“SNEI”), as well as certain related entities 

(collectively, the “Sony Defendants”), have been named as defendants in at least sixty-two (62) 

putative class action lawsuits, including this lawsuit, to date; 

WHEREAS, a motion is currently pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict 

Litigation (the “JPML”) to centralize this and other matters before a single district court, to which 

multiple responses, including the Sony Defendants’ response, have been filed to date and are 

under submission before the JPML, with a hearing date of July 28, 2011; 

WHEREAS, the current date of the initial Case Management Conference (“CMC”) in this 

case is August 17, 2011 and certain other deadlines are set forth in the Order Setting Initial Case 

Management Conference and ADR Deadlines; 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed that it is in the best interests of all parties to vacate 

the CMC and associated deadlines in this case in order to facilitate the scheduling of this matter in 

coordination with the schedule for the motion and hearing before the JPML; 

NOW, THEREFORE, all parties, by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate 

for an order as follows: 

In light of the motion for centralization pending before the JPML, the CMC and all 

associated deadlines, including those set forth in the Order Setting Initial Case Management 

Conference and ADR Deadlines, in the above-entitled action shall be vacated and further pretrial 

and scheduling matters shall be addressed by the transferee judge following centralization or, in 

the event such motion for centralization is denied, the defendants will notify the Court within a 

reasonable time thereafter, so that the Court may at that time issue a revised case schedule.
