REED SMITH LLP 

A limited liability partnership formed in the State of Delaware

STIPULATION

Plaintiff Gary Hawkins (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Medtronic, Inc., and Medtronic Sofamor 

Danek USA, Inc. (collectively “Defendants”), by and through their respective attorneys or record, 

stipulate and agree as follows:

On January 29, 2014, the Court scheduled the Scheduling Conference in this matter for May 

1, 2014 (Doc. No. 43); 

Plaintiff filed his First Amended Complaint in this Court against Defendants on March 31, 

2014 (Doc. No. 48) after the Court’s January 30, 2014 ruling on Medtronic’s Motion to Dismiss 

Plaintiff’s original Complaint (Doc. No. 44);

Defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint on April 17, 

2014, and the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss was scheduled for June 2, 2014 (Doc. No. 

49);

The parties agree that in the interest of judicial efficiency, the Scheduling Conference should 

be scheduled on the same day as the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss, or on a date after 

the Court has ruled on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED THAT:

The Scheduling Conference in this matter shall be continued to June 2, 2014, or such later 

date as the Court may determine.
