U.S.D.C, N.D. Cal., No. No. C-03-04529-RMW 

 

Plaintiffs William Syverson, Ruth Alice Boyd, Dale Cahill, Jack Friedman, Paul Gramkowski, 

Sylvia Jones, Rolf Marsh, Walter Maslak, James Payne, and Antonio Rivera (“Plaintiffs”) and defendant 

International Business Machines Corporation (“IBM”), acting through their respective counsel of record, 

hereby stipulate as follows: 

1. On January 3, 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit entered its final 

judgment reversing this Court’s dismissal of Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint. On January 11, 

2007, the Court of Appeals issued its mandate to this Court. 

2. On February 13, 2007, this Court noticed a case management conference for March 9, 

2007, with a case management conference statement to be submitted by March 2, 2007. 

3. The parties have met and conferred about plaintiffs’ intention to file a Second Amended 

Complaint and the proceedings that would be associated with that anticipated pleading, including a 

possible stipulation by defendant to permit the pleading to be filed or a possible motion by plaintiffs for 

leave to file the pleading. The parties believe that due to those expected proceedings, it would be 

premature for the Court to convene a case management conference on March 9, 2007. 

4. Instead, the parties have agreed and propose that the Court vacate the March 9, 2007, 

case management conference and instead adopt the following schedule with respect to plaintiffs’ 

anticipated Second Amended Complaint and the case management conference: 

March 20, 2007: Last day by which plaintiffs will submit to defendant their 

proposed Second Amended Complaint. 

April 13, 2007: Last day by which defendant will notify plaintiffs whether 

defendant will stipulate to the filing of plaintiffs’ proposed Second 

Amended Complaint. 

April 27, 2007: Last day for parties to file a joint case management conference 

statement 

May 4, 2007: Case management conference (10:30 a.m.) 

5. In their joint case management conference statement, the parties would request, either 

jointly or separately, that the Court enter a briefing and hearing schedule on (i) plaintiffs’ motion for 

leave to file their proposed Second Amended Complaint, if defendant does not stipulate to the filing of

plaintiffs’ proposed Second Amended Complaint; or (ii) defendant’s motion to dismiss, in whole or part, 

plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint, and/or any related motion, if defendant stipulates to the filing of 

the Second Amended Complaint. Until such time as the Court adopted a briefing and hearing schedule, 

defendant’s time to respond to the First or Second Amended Complaint would not come due. 

6. Nothing in this stipulation is intended or will have the effect to waive any claim, defense, 

or objection by any party.
