STIPULATION TO SHORTEN TIME AND EXTEND DEADLINE TO FILE AMENDED COMPLAINT

Gibson, Dunn & CASE NO. 3:18-CV-02499-WHO Crutcher LLP

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, Plaintiffs and Defendant JUUL Labs, Inc. (“JLI”), by and through 

their undersigned counsel, stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, on July 29, 2019, JLI filed with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation 

(“JPML”) a motion to transfer and consolidate 10 actions, including the 4 actions pending in this 

litigation, as well as any tag-along actions (of which there are presently 19), for coordinated or 

consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to Section 1407. There are now presently a total of 29 

cases before the JPML for its consideration. 

WHEREAS, the JPML has confirmed that it will hear JLI’s motion on September 26, 2019. 

WHEREAS, JLI plans to file a motion to stay proceedings in this litigation pending the 

JPML’s ruling on JLI’s motion. 

WHEREAS, under Local Rule 7-2, any regularly noticed motion could not be heard until 

October 2, 2019, which is after the JPML’s hearing of JLI’s motion. 

WHEREAS, on August 23, 2019, this Court issued an order granting in part and denying in 

part JLI’s motion to dismiss and granting Plaintiffs leave to file an amended complaint within 20 

days of the order.

WHEREAS, the parties disagree on whether the case should be stayed pending a 

determination from the JPML on JLI’s MDL motion, including whether the deadline to file any 

amended complaint and response to that complaint should be stayed. 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs intend to file an amended complaint, the current deadline for which is 

September 12, 2019. 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs would like until September 19, 2019 to file an amended complaint. 

WHEREAS JLI believes the case should be stayed, but is amenable to Plaintiffs’ requested 

time extension unless the case is stayed.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by the parties, through their counsel of 

record, subject to the Court’s approval, that: 

1. The following expedited briefing and hearing schedule will apply to JLI’s motion to stay:
