ORDER MODIFYING PRIOR

This Document Relates to: STIPULATION AND ORDER

RE CLASS CERTIFICATION

All Indirect Purchaser Actions BRIEFING SCHEDULE

_______________________________/

On September 4, 2007, the court issued an order granting the parties’ proposed

modifications to the briefing schedule regarding plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. The

stipulation sought to modify the July 6, 2007 briefing schedule previously set by the court,

in order to accommodate defendants’ potential filing of a motion to dismiss in response to

plaintiffs’ recently filed Second Amended Complaint. After further review of the parties’

stipulation, the court hereby modifies the September 4 stipulation and order as follows:

1. Defendants’ response to plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint, including any

motion to dismiss, shall be filed no later than October 1, 2007.

2. In the event defendants file a motion to dismiss in lieu of answering the

Second Amended Complaint, plaintiffs’ opposition to defendants’ motion to dismiss shall be

filed no later than October 31, 2007. Defendants shall file any reply in support of their

motion to dismiss no later than November 19, 2007. The hearing on defendants’ motion to

dismiss shall take place on December 12, 2007.

3. With respect to plaintiffs’ pending motion for class certification, defendants

shall file their opposition brief no later than September 28, 2007. Plaintiffs shall complete

discovery of defendants’ class certification experts no later than November 9, 2007. 

Plaintiffs’ reply brief in support of their motion for class certification shall be filed no later

than December 17, 2007. The hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification shall take

place on January 16, 2007.

4. Notwithstanding the above, and in the event that defendants choose not to file

a motion to dismiss by October 1, 2007 (but instead file an answer), the aforementioned

briefing schedule with respect to plaintiffs’ class certification motion is altered as follows:

Plaintiffs shall complete discovery of defendants’ class certification experts no later than

October 26, 2007. Plaintiffs’ reply brief in support of their motion for class certification shall

be filed no later than November 28, 2007. These dates more appropriately reflect the

original two month time frame between the filing of defendants’ opposition brief and

plaintiffs’ reply brief, as contemplated by the parties and the court in the July 6, 2007

stipulation and order. In the event no motion to dismiss is filed, the hearing on plaintiffs’

motion for class certification shall in any event take place on January 16, 2008. 

This order supercedes the September 4, 2007 stipulation and order entered by the

court at docket no. 1701.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
