754542.1 - 2 - STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR 

CONTINUANCE OF HEARING AND 

MODIFICATION M07-1827 SI, MDL NO. 1827 

2. After conferring, Plaintiffs and Royal Philips agree that Plaintiffs should 

have a reasonable opportunity to conduct limited jurisdictional discovery for the purpose of 

opposing Royal Philips’ Rule 12(b)(2) motion. 

3. Allowing time for Plaintiffs to conduct the contemplated discovery makes 

it necessary to continue the hearing of Royal Philips’ Rule 12(b)(2) motion and the briefing 

schedule set forth in Pretrial Order No. 5. 

4. To accommodate the jurisdictional discovery, Plaintiffs and Royal Philips 

have agreed to seek a continuance of the scheduled motion hearing and related briefing. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between Plaintiffs and 

Royal Philips, by and through their undersigned counsel, subject to the Court’s approval, as 

follows: 

1. For the purposes specified in this Stipulation, Plaintiffs shall be permitted 

to conduct discovery from Royal Philips in accordance with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. 

2. Royal Philips reserves all of its rights under the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure to object to, to seek a protective order regarding, or to otherwise oppose any discovery 

sought by Plaintiffs pursuant to this Stipulation. 

3. Pretrial Order No. 5 shall be modified as follows: 

a. Plaintiffs shall serve and file their opposition to Royal Philips’ 

motion to dismiss under Rule 12(b)(2) and (6) within 120 days after entry of an Order approving 

this Stipulation, or by any subsequent date that may be ordered by the Court; 

b. Royal Philips shall serve and file any reply no later than 14 days 

after Plaintiffs have served and filed their opposition; and 

c. The hearing on Royal Philips’ motion to dismiss, now scheduled 

for April 30, 2008, at 2:00 p.m., shall be continued to the earliest date available on the Court’s 

calendar that will accommodate the briefing schedule in place pursuant to this Stipulation and 

will comply with the Court’s Local Rule 7-3(c), which requires Royal Philips’ reply to be filed at 

least 14 days before the hearing.

4. Plaintiffs and Royal Philips shall each make a good-faith effort to 

accomplish the jurisdictional discovery contemplated by this Stipulation in time to comply with 

the proposed briefing schedule. Should it become apparent to either Plaintiffs or Royal Philips 

that the jurisdictional discovery contemplated by this Stipulation will not be completed in time to 

comply with the modified briefing schedule set forth in this Stipulation, then either party may 

move the Court for a reasonable continuance of the briefing schedule and a corresponding 

continuance of the hearing on Royal Philips’ motion to dismiss. 

5. Plaintiffs and Royal Philips fully reserve all of their claims, defenses and 

rights in the above-captioned litigation, specifically including, without limitation, Royal Philips’ 

right to contest personal jurisdiction. 

It is so stipulated and requested.
