DEADLINES; [PROPOSED]ORDER

JURY TRIAL DEMANDED 

Plaintiff Edna L. Gallegos (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Nvidia Corporation (“Nvidia”), 

ATI Technologies ULC and Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. (collectively “AMD”) hereby jointly 

request the Court to continue certain deadlines related to the initial case management conference 

in this action as follows. 

1. On February 9, 2007, Plaintiff filed the complaint in this action (“Complaint”), 

which alleges claims under state antitrust and consumer protection laws. Plaintiff styled the 

Complaint as a putative class action. 

2. As of the date of this request, at least 49 other complaints have been filed in this 

and other judicial districts. All of these complaints also allege federal and/or state law antitrust

claims against Nvidia and AMD and are styled as putative class actions. At least 9 of these other 

complaints are currently pending before this Court. 

3. On December 8, 2006, the plaintiffs in some of the other actions pending in this 

district filed a motion before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML” or “Panel”) to 

transfer and consolidate in this judicial district all existing and subsequently filed antitrust actions 

related to the claims alleged in the Complaint (“JPML Motion”). The JPML Motion was granted 

on April 18, 2007, and the Panel ordered that the consolidated actions proceed before this Court. 

4. Plaintiff and Defendants stipulated on February 23, 2007 to extend the time for 

Defendants to respond to the Complaint to 30 days after (1) the order resolving the JPML Motion 

and (2) the filing and service of any subsequent consolidated complaint, without prejudice to the 

right of Nvidia or AMD to seek additional time to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint 

for good cause shown. 

5. On February 9, 2007, this Court entered a Case Management Scheduling Order 

setting deadlines pursuant Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26, Local Rule 16, and ADR Local 

Rule 3.5. Some of these deadlines differ from the deadlines imposed in the 9 other actions 

currently pending before this Court.

6. Continuing the dates set forth in the February 9, 2007 Case Management 

Scheduling Order to match those in the other cases pending before this Court, would avoid the 

expenditure of unnecessary resources and be convenient for the parties, including Plaintiff. 

7. Accordingly, the parties hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that the Court 

order a continuance of certain of the dates set forth in the February 9, 2007 Case Management 

Scheduling Order. The affected dates include the deadlines to: (1) meet and confer re: initial 

disclosures, early settlement, ADR process selection, and discovery plan (currently April 24, 

2007); (2) file joint ADR documents (currently April 24, 2007); and (3) complete initial 

disclosures and file the Case Management Statement and Rule 26(f) Report (currently May 8, 

2007). At this time, the parties are not requesting a continuance of the Initial Case Management 

Conference, currently set for May 24, 2007, as that date already matches the other actions 

pending in this Court.

8. The parties request that the Court continue the above referenced deadlines as 

follows: (1) meet and confer re: initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process selection, and 

discovery plan – May 3, 2007; (2) file joint ADR documents – May 3, 2007; (3) complete initial 

disclosures and file the Case Management Statement and Rule 26(f) Report – May 17, 2007. 

Such a continuance will harmonize the schedule in this case with that of the other 9 cases 

currently pending before this Court. 

9. Except as described in Paragraph 4, the parties have sought no previous 

modification of the timing of any event or deadline set by the Court.
