MOTION TO DISMISS AND RELATED BRIEFING IN SHUBERT V. BUSH, CASE NO. 07-693 1

RECITALS

1. On November 7, 2006, the Government filed a Motion to Stay MDL Proceedings,

Dkt. 67-69 (“Motion to Stay”). (As in the Joint Case Management Statement, Dkt. 61, “the

Government” refers to the federal defendants sued in their official capacities in these actions and

the federal intervenor-defendants (United States of America, National Security Agency,

President George W. Bush).)

2. On February 20, 2007, the Court granted in part and denied in part the

Government’s stay motion. With respect to all cases in MDL 1791 other than Hepting v. AT&T,

Case No. 06-672, the Court stated that it would enter a stay pending resolution of the

interlocutory appeal in Hepting if the parties stipulate to a stay. If the parties in any non-Hepting

case did not stipulate to a stay, the Court ordered the defendants to answer or otherwise respond

to the complaint in such case not later than March 29, 2007. 

3. The Plaintiffs in Shubert v. Bush, Case No. 07-693, did not stipulate to a stay

pending resolution of the Hepting appeal. However, the parties in Shubert have agreed to a

modified briefing schedule, as set forth in the Stipulation below.

STIPULATION

Plaintiffs, through their counsel, and the Government, through their attorneys of record,

hereby stipulate to the following schedule and request that the Court make this stipulation an

order of the Court:

1. On or before May 18, 2007, the Government will file a dispositive motion and

any assertion of the military and state secrets privilege in Shubert v. Bush, Case

No. 07-693.

2. On or before June 29, 2007, Plaintiffs in Shubert will file an opposition to the

Government’s dispositive motion.

3. On or before July 20, 2007, the Government will file a reply brief in support of its

dispositive motion.

4. On August 3, 2007, or at another time thereafter convenient to the Court, oral
