the country has been set on the Panel’s docket when it next convenes on September 30, 2010. In 

the event the Panel consolidates this case with similar cases, the parties expect that the Plaintiffs 

will file a consolidated amended complaint, thereby requiring subsequent responsive pleading. In 

order to avoid duplicative work and otherwise wasting resources, the parties agree that current 

pending deadlines should be stayed and stipulate that the deadlines for briefing on Defendants’ 

currently pending motion to dismiss shall be stayed pending a ruling by the Judicial Panel on 

Multidistrict Litigation. In the event the Panel denies the motion to transfer this case along with 

related cases to a single district for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings, 

1. Within 15 days of receiving notice of the Panel’s decision denying the motion to 

transfer, Defendants shall renotice their motion to dismiss consistent with Civil Local Rule 7-2 and 

7-3; 

2. Plaintiffs’ response to Defendants’ motion to dismiss shall be due 30 days from the 

date of the Panel’s ruling; 

3. Defendants’ reply shall be due 14 days following Plaintiffs’ response; 

4. The parties propose the the Court continue the Case Management Conference, 

currently scheuduled for October 22, 2010, to a date following a decision on Defendants’ motion to 

dismiss.
