 Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1, and in light of the February 19, 2008 Judicial Panel on 

Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) Transfer Order consolidating this case and the other 

Transpacific Passenger Air cases, Plaintiffs Donald Wortman, William Adams, and Margaret 

Garcia (“Plaintiffs”), and defendant China Airlines Ltd. (“Defendant”), through counsel, hereby 

stipulate and agree as follows: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that Defendant’s time to answer, move or 

otherwise plead is enlarged until either: (1) 45 days after plaintiffs in the Transpacific Passenger 

Air cases file and serve a consolidated amended complaint; or, (2) 45 days after plaintiffs in the 

Transpacific Passenger Air cases provide written notice that a consolidated amended complaint 

will not be filed. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that defense counsel shall accept service 

on behalf of Defendant of the summons and complaints in the above-captioned matter, including 

any amended or consolidated complaints, and further, that Defendant shall not contest sufficiency 

of process or service of process. This Stipulation does not constitute a waiver of any other 

defense including, but not limited to, the defenses of lack of personal or subject matter 

jurisdiction or improper venue. Nothing in this paragraph shall obligate Defendant to answer, 

move, or otherwise respond to any complaint until the time provided in the preceding paragraph. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 

Respectfully Submitted,
