STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND INITIAL SCHEDULING DATES

 CASE NO.: 06-CV-07644 MMC

WHEREAS plaintiff filed a complaint in the above-captioned case on or about December 13, 

2006 (“Complaint”); 

WHEREAS Plaintiff alleges antitrust violations by manufacturers of Liquid Crystal Display 

(“LCD”) products; 

WHEREAS more than sixty complaints, including this action, have been filed to date in 

federal district courts throughout the United States by plaintiffs purporting to bring class actions on 

behalf of purchasers alleging antitrust violations by manufacturers of LCD products (collectively, 

“the LCD Cases”);

WHEREAS there are motions pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation 

(“JPML”) to transfer the LCD Cases for coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings pursuant to 

28 U.S.C. § 1407; 

WHEREAS the parties anticipate the possibility of consolidated amended complaints in the 

LCD Cases; 

WHEREAS on February 7, 2007, the Court issued an Order extending the deadline for 

Defendant LPL America (and any other defendant who notified Plaintiff by letter that they were 

joining in the extension without making a formal appearance) to respond to the Complaint until the 

earlier of the following dates: (1) forty-five days after the filing of Consolidated Amended 

Complaint(s) in the transferee court in which the LCD Cases are consolidated by the JPML; or (2) 

forty-five days after plaintiffs provide written notice to LPL America that they do not intend to file a 

Consolidated Amended Complaint, provided that such notice may be given only after the initial case 

management conference in the MDL transferee court in this case (collectively, the “Stipulated 

Complaint Response Deadline”); 

WHEREAS the parties agree that it would be a more efficient use of the resources of the 

parties and this Court to postpone the initial case schedule set forth in the Court’s January 23, 2007 

Case Management Conference Order, until after the filing of any amended complaint and 

consolidation and transfer by the JPML, or after the JPML denies all motions to transfer for 

coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings involving this action; 

WHEREAS on February 21, 2007, the Clerk for the United States District Court for the 

Case 3:06-cv-07644-SI Document 41 Filed 03/09/07 Page 2 of 4

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO EXTEND INITIAL SCHEDULING DATES

 CASE NO.: 06-CV-07644 MMC

Northern District of California issued an Order, attached hereto as Exhibit A, that extended Judge 

Illston’s case management deadlines in the LCD Cases pending in that Court and set an initial case 

management conference for June 8, 2007; 

WHEREAS the parties agree that the case management deadlines for this action set forth in 

this Court’s Case Management Conference Order should be similarly extended in the manner set 

forth in the Stipulation below; 

WHEREAS this Stipulation does not constitute a waiver by NEC Electronics America, Inc. 

or any defendant of any defense, including but not limited to the defenses of lack of personal or 

subject matter jurisdiction, insufficiency of process, insufficiency of service of process, or improper 

venue.

PLAINTIFF AND DEFENDANT NEC ELECTRONICS AMERICA, BY AND THROUGH 

THEIR RESPECTIVE COUNSEL OF RECORD, HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE AS 

FOLLOWS: 

1. The Case Management Conference, originally set for March 30, 2007, shall be 

extended until June 8, 2007, at 10:30 a.m. All other deadlines set forth in the Court’s January 23, 

2007 Case Management Conference Order are likewise extended to reflect a new Case Management 

Conference date of June 8, 2007. 

2. The extensions to the Case Management Conference Order deadlines set forth in this 

Stipulation apply to the case schedule for the entire action and thus to any other parties that may 

appear in this action.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
