Plaintiffs Erik Henrikson, Iris Kievernagel, Patsy Kievernagel, Joseph Kievernagel, 

Kathleen Hamilton and Thomas Blount (collectively, "Plaintiffs") and Defendants Turbomeca, S.A. 

(a/k/a La Societe Anonyme Turbomeca France) and Turbomeca USA, Inc. (f/k/a Turbomeca 

Engine Corporation) (collectively, "Defendants") hereby stipulate and seek an order of the Court 

extending certain deadlines in the above-entitled matter, as follows: 

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d)(3), Defendants voluntarily agreed to 

waive service of the Complaint by written waivers dated July 24, 2006. However, Turbomeca, 

S.A. is located in France, while Turbomeca USA, Inc. is located in the United States. Under Rule 

4(d)(3), the due dates for a response to the Complaint by the defendant addressed in France would 

be October 23, 2006 and the due date for the defendant in the United States would be September 

22, 2006. All Defendants anticipate responding to the Complaint by filing motions under Federal 

Rule of Civil Procedure 12, resulting in two separate hearing dates for such motions. To avoid the 

burden on the Court's time and schedule, as well as the requirement that the parties prepare two 

separate sets of papers, the parties HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE that the time for 

Turbomeca USA (f/k/a Turbomeca Engine Corporation) to respond to the Complaint is extended 

to October 23, 2006, the same date for Turbomeca, S.A. (a/k/a La Societe Anonyme Turbomeca 

France). 

Under the Order Setting Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Conference issued by the Court, a 

Status Conference is set for October 10, 2006. The Order further requires that at least 21 days 

before the Status Conference the parties are to confer and develop a proposed discovery plan 

pursuant to Federal Rule of Procedure 26(f) ("Initial Conference of the Parties"). Under Rule 

26(a)(1), the parties' Initial Disclosures would then be due on October 4, 2006, 14 days after 

the Initial Conference of the Parties. Since Defendants will not have filed an answer to the 

Complaint at that time, the parties HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE that the Initial 

Conference of Parties and Initial Disclosures shall occur 90 days after Defendants have filed any 

responsive pleading.
