STIPULATION FOR LEAVE TO FILE SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT; [PROPOSED] ORDER 

CASE CV-09-01117 (CW) 

Plaintiff Steven McArdle (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants AT&T Mobility LLC, New 

Cingular Wireless PCS LLC, and New Cingular Wireless Services, Inc. (“Defendants”)

Court for the State of California, County of Los Angeles. The Complaint pled violations of the 

following California laws: the Consumers Legal Remedies Act, Civil Code section 1750, et seq. 

(“CLRA”), Unfair Competition Law (“UCL”), False Advertising Law (“FAL”), and common law 

of fraud, deceit and/or misrepresentation. 

2. On May 29, 2009, the Court approved the parties’ stipulation giving Plaintiff leave 

to file a First Amended Complaint and deemed that complaint filed the same day. The First 

Amended Complaint added claims for damages under the CLRA. 

3. On July 13, 2009, the Court ordered that the last day for adding parties or claims is 

October 1, 2009. 

4. On September 29, 2009, Plaintiff provided Defendants with a proposed Second 

Amended Complaint in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, showing in redline proposed 

changes from the First Amended Complaint. The proposed Second Amended complaint pleads 

violations of the CLRA, UCL, and FAL, on behalf of two new proposed classes of similarly 

situated persons, relating to the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions that are 

included in Defendants’ mobile telephone service agreements. A copy of the proposed Second 

Amended Complaint without redlines is attached hereto as Exhibit A. 

 NOW, THEREFORE, THE PARTIES JOINTLY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 

(1) Plaintiff should be granted leave to file the Second Amended Complaint attached 

hereto as Exhibit A. 

(2) Upon entry of an order approving this stipulation, the Second Amended Complaint 

shall be filed by Plaintiff forthwith. 

(3) Defendants shall retain any and all rights to move to dismiss, move to strike,
