STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE THE HEARING ON DEFENDANTS’ MOTIONS 

TO DISMISS AND TO RESCHEDULE THE CASE MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE 

 Plaintiff The Anschutz Corporation (“Plaintiff”), and Defendants Deutsche Bank 

Securities Inc. (“DBSI”), Fitch, Inc., Fitch Ratings Ltd, and The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc. 

(“McGraw-Hill,” and collectively “Defendants”), by and through their counsel of record, hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

 WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint on March 19, 2010; 

 WHEREAS, the Court issued its order denying DBSI’s motion to transfer venue pursuant 

to 28 U.S.C. § 1404(a) on April 13, 2010; 

 WHEREAS, the parties previously stipulated and the Court ordered that if DBSI’s motion 

to transfer was denied, the Defendants would have 30 days after such order was entered to answer 

or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s operative pleading (i.e. May 13, 2010), if any defendant filed a 

motion to dismiss, Plaintiff would serve its opposition within 45 days after service of any such 

motion to dismiss (i.e. June 28, 2010), and Defendants would have 30 days to serve any reply (i.e. 

July 30, 2010) (the “Previous Stipulation and Court Order”); 

 WHEREAS, on May 13, 2010, Defendants filed the following motions: 

x DBSI filed (1) a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint; (2) a Motion 

to Strike Portions of Plaintiff’s First Amended Complaint; and (3) a Request for 

Judicial Notice in Support of Its Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s First Amended 

Complaint; 

x Fitch, Inc., Fitch Ratings Ltd, and McGraw-Hill (collectively, the “Rating Agencies”) 

filed (1) a Joint Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint; and (2) a Request 

for Judicial Notice; and

x Fitch Ratings Ltd filed a Motion to Dismiss the First Amended Complaint for Lack of 

Personal Jurisdiction Pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2) (collectively, “Defendants’ Motions” 

or the “Motions”); 

 WHEREAS, Defendants inadvertently noticed each of the aforementioned motions for 

hearing on June 18, 2010, in accordance with the Court’s Local Rules, rather than the terms of the 

Previous Stipulation and Court Order;
