MOTION AND STIPULATION TO CONTINUE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE – No. C05-4346 EMC

To date, the Clerk of the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“MDL Panel”) in

Washington, D.C. has not entered a Conditional Transfer Order pursuant to MDL Panel Rule

12(a) or filed an order to show cause why the action should not be transferred, pursuant to MDL

Panel Rule 13(b). 

It is likely the case management deadlines set by this Court will come to pass before the

Clerk of the MDL Panel acts. 

In addition, it has come to the attention of counsel that the Judge assigned to hear the

cases pending in MDL 875, the Honorable Charles R. Weiner of the Eastern District of

Pennsylvania, has recently passed away and that the Clerk of that Court has reported a backlog

in cases transferred to that Court by the MDL panel. 

Further, service and/or responsive pleading is pending upon/from Defendants TODD

SHIPYARDS CORPORATION NEW YORK SHIPBUILDING CORPORATION, and NORTH

CAROLINA SHIPBUILDING COMPANY.

Due to the pending action by the Clerk of the MDL Panel, and the time needed by the

panel to consider the notices of Defendants, the following parties hereby STIPULATE to and

respectfully request that the dates set forth in the Order Setting Initial Case Management

Conference filed October 25, 2005 (Document 2), including the Case Management Conference

currently set for February 22, 2006 be continued pending the outcome of the MDL Panel’s

decision on the merits of the transfer. In addition, the parties request that the pre-Case

Management Conference deadlines set forth in the Order Setting Initial Case Management

Conference be vacated.
