STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANTS TO FILE REPLY ISO JOINT MOTION TO DISMISS 

OR STAY AMENDED COMPLAINT OF WALGREEN CO. ET AL. MDL No. 14-md-02521-WHO 

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-2, Defendants Watson Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Watson Laboratories, 

Inc., and Actavis, plc (together, “Watson”); Endo Pharmaceuticals Inc. (“Endo”); and Teikoku 

Pharma USA and Teukoku Seiyaku Co. (together “Teikoku”) (collectively “Defendants”) and 

Plaintiffs Walgreen Co., The Kroger Co., Safeway Inc., HEB Grocery Company L.P., and 

Albertson’s LLC stipulate that, subject to the Court’s approval, Defendants may receive an 

extension of time to file Defendants’ Reply In Support of Defendants’ Joint Motion to Dismiss or 

Stay the Amended Complaint of Walgreen Co. et al. 

The Reply is currently due on May 29, 2015, but due to the long Memorial Day weekend 

starting on May 22, 2015, Defendants have requested, and Plaintiffs do not object to, a one-week 

extension to June 5, 2015, to allow Defendants to prepare their Reply. 

The parties have not previously sought time modifications in this case, except for a 

stipulation to extend the time to complete a Rule 26(f) conference (which the Court granted, ECF 

No. 119), and an extension on a prior motion to dismiss briefing schedule (which the Court granted, 

ECF No. 98). The requested extension will not affect the schedule in this case, or the hearing for 

the motion, which is currently scheduled for July 8, 2015.
