STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Case No. 07-5944

REGARDING SCHEDULING MDL NO. 1917

WHEREAS, the Indirect Purchaser Plaintiffs (“IPPs”), the Direct Action Plaintiffs 

(“DAPs”), the California Attorney General,1and the undersigned Defendants2agree that a modest 

modification of the case schedule will ultimately aid in the efficient resolution of the litigation;

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and between counsel for the IPPs, 

counsel for the DAPs, and counsel for the undersigned Defendants in the above-captioned actions

as follows:

SCHEDULE

April 15, 2014 Last day for IPPs, DAPs and the California Attorney General to 

serve opening expert reports on the merits; last day for Defendants 

to serve opening expert reports on affirmative defenses;

July 3, 2014 For any depositions noticed, but not yet taken, by April 15, 2014, 

the Parties may supplement their opening reports to the extent that 

the supplements are limited to evidence that is elicited during such 

depositions;

August 5, 2014 Last day for Defendants to serve opposition expert reports on the 

merits; last day for IPPs, DAPs and California Attorney General to 

serve opposition expert reports on affirmative defenses;

September 5, 2014 Close of fact discovery;

September 23, 2014 Last day for IPPs, DAPs and California Attorney General to serve 

rebuttal expert reports on the merits; last day for Defendants to 

serve rebuttal expert reports on affirmative defenses;

 

1

The California Attorney General joins in this stipulation, but only insofar as it concerns the close 

of fact and expert discovery on Defendants and the date of expert reports.

2

The following Defendants do not join in this stipulation: Technicolor SA (f/k/a Thomson SA), 

Technicolor USA, Inc. (f/k/a Thomson Consumer Electronics, Inc.), Mitsubishi Electric 

Corporation, Mitsubishi Digital Electronics America, Inc., and Mitsubishi Electric US, Inc. (f/k/a 

Mitsubishi Electric and Electronics, USA, Inc.). The Court ruled only last week on the motions to 

dismiss filed by the Thomson and Mitsubishi defendants. Having not been parties to the previous 

scheduling orders in these matters, they obviously need to work with their clients, plaintiffs and 

the Court to determine the schedule going forward and therefore do not join in this stipulation at 

this time.
