 Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1, and in light of the related Motion for Transfer and 

Consolidation of Related Actions to the Northern District of California Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 

1407 now pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) and whereas the 

Court entered the Reassignment Order on January 24, 2008, Plaintiff Micah Abrams (“Plaintiff”), 

and defendant Japan Airlines International Co., Ltd. (“Defendant”), through counsel, hereby 

stipulate and agree as follows: 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that Defendant’s time to answer, move or 

otherwise plead is enlarged until the later of: (1) the date when Defendant would otherwise be 

required to file a response pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12; or (2) 45 days after the 

JPML grants, denies, or otherwise disposes of the pending motion. If a consolidated amended 

complaint is filed by Plaintiff in a single transferee Court and served on Defendant, and Plaintiff’s 

counsel is acting as Lead Counsel, Plaintiff agrees that Defendants’ time to answer, move, or 

otherwise plead is enlarged until 45 days after such service. 

IT IS FURTHER STIPULATED AND AGREED that defense counsel shall accept service 

on behalf of Defendant of the summons and complaints in the above-captioned matter, including 

any amended or consolidated complaints, and further, that Defendant shall not contest sufficiency 

of process or service of process. This Stipulation does not constitute a waiver of any other 

defense including, but not limited to, the defenses of lack of personal or subject matter
