putative class action lawsuits within this District, to date (collectively, the “N.D. Cal. Sony 

Litigations”); 

WHEREAS, certain of the Sony Defendants have also been named as defendants in at 

least thirty-two (32) putative class action lawsuits pending outside this District, to date 

(collectively, with the N.D. Cal. Sony Litigations, the “U.S. Sony Litigations”); 

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

Litigation (the “JPML”) to centralize this and other matters, to which various responses have been 

filed to date, including Sony Defendants’ response; 

WHEREAS, the current deadline for SCEA to respond to the operative complaint in the 

above-entitled action (“Complaint”) is July 19, 2011; 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to the extension of time herein for the defendants in 

the above-captioned action to move, answer, or otherwise respond to the Complaint, in order to 

facilitate the scheduling of this matter in coordination with the schedule for the motion before the 

JPML; 

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-1(a), 7-1(a), and 7-12, all parties, 

by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

The deadline for the defendants to respond to the Complaint in the above-captioned action 

is extended until and including 30 days after a consolidated complaint is filed in a multidistrict 

litigation centralizing the above-captioned action with other matters, or if centralization is denied 

by the JPML, then 30 days from the date of such order denying centralization. 

Either party may seek ex parte relief from this stipulated Order for good cause shown, 

including, but not limited to, defendants’ filing of a responsive pleading in a related case.
