Crutcher LLP 

forth in the Case Management Scheduling Orders filed October 19, 2006 and October 27, 2006 

(Documents 2 and 3), for the following good cause: 

1. At least 51 complaints have been filed to date in federal district courts by plaintiffs 

bringing class actions on behalf of either direct or indirect purchasers alleging price fixing by 

manufacturers of Static Random Access Memory ("SRAM") (collectively, the "SRAM cases"). 

2. There is currently pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation ("JPML") 

(MDL case number 1819) a motion to transfer SRAM cases for coordinated or consolidated pretrial 

proceedings pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407. 

3. On November 15, 2006, several defendants in the SRAM cases filed with the JPML a 

schedule identifying the above-captioned case as a potential tag-along action to pending MDL 1819. 

4. On December 14, 2006, the JPML issued a Notice of Hearing Session stating that the 

request to consolidate the SRAM cases will be heard by the JPML on January 25, 2007. 

5. The parties agree that, at some point subsequent to that hearing, the JPML is likely to grant 

the transfer and coordination or consolidation request. 

6. In light of the pending consolidation request before the JPML, Plaintiffs and Defendants 

Micron Technology, Inc. and Micron Semiconductor Products, Inc. stipulated on November 13, 2006 

to extend the time for Defendants to respond to the Complaint in the above-captioned action to the 

earlier of the following two dates: (1) thirty days after the filing of a Consolidated Amended 

Complaint in the SRAM cases; or (2) thirty days after Plaintiffs provide written notice that they do 

not intend to file a Consolidated Amended Complaint, provided that such notice may be given only at 

or after the initial case management conference in the MDL transferee court in this case. Upon 

information and belief, all other defendants in this case joined that Stipulation. There have not been 

any other time modifications in this case. 

7. Anticipating a decision by the JPML, two courts in this district have already denied a 

series of administrative motions to consider whether certain SRAM cases should be related. These 

courts denied all of these motions without prejudice to renewal following the resolution of the 

proceedings before the JPML. See Dataplex, Inc. v. Alliance Semiconductor Corp., et. al, No. 06-

6491 CW (12/14/06 Order of Judge Wilken); see also In re DRAM Litigation, No. M02-1486 PJH 

(11/15/06 Order of Judge Hamilton). 

8. Also anticipating a decision by the JPML, two additional courts in this district have 

recently either stayed an SRAM proceeding or continued case management deadlines in three SRAM 

actions. See Reclaim Center, Inc., et al. v. Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., et al., No. 06-6533 

(12/22/06 Order of Judge Illston to stay proceeding pending decision by JPML); Madsen v. Samsung 

Electronics Co., Ltd., et al., No. 06-6541 (12/22/06 Order of Judge Illston to continue case 

management deadlines pending decision by JPML); Ma v. Alliance Semiconductor Corp., et al., No. 

06-6511 (12/20/06 Order of Judge Laporte to continue case management deadlines and conference 

pending decision by JPML). 

9. Given the January 25, 2007 hearing date for pending MDL 1819, the dates set forth in the 

Case Management Scheduling Orders filed October 19, 2006 and October 27, 2006 in the abovecaptioned case, including deadlines imposed by Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 26, Local Rule 16, 

and ADR Local Rule 3.5, will come to pass before the JPML acts on the pending request. 

10. Continuing the dates set forth in the Case Management Scheduling Orders filed October 

19, 2006 and October 27, 2006 pending the JPML's resolution of the pending transfer and 

coordination or consolidation request would promote judicial efficiency, allow consistency in pretrial 

rulings, and be most convenient to the parties, including the Plaintiffs in the above-captioned action. 

11. The parties agree that this joint stipulation does not constitute a waiver of any defense, 

including but not limited to the defense of lack of personal or subject matter jurisdiction or improper 

venue.

CONTINUE the dates set forth in the Case Management Scheduling Orders filed October 19, 2006 

and October 27, 2006 (Documents 2 and 3). The affected dates include the deadline to meet and 

confer and file Joint ADR Certification (currently December 27, 2006); the deadline to complete 

Initial Disclosures, the Joint Case Management Statement, and the Rule 26(f) Report (currently 

January 7, 2007); and the Initial Case Management Conference (currently January 17, 2007). The 

parties propose extending these dates 90 days to March 27, April 7, and April 18, 2007, at 2:30 p.m. 

respectively. 

13. The parties shall meet and confer prior to the Case Management Conference and shall 

prepare a joint Case Management Conference Statement, which shall be filed no later than April 9, 

2007. Counsel for Plaintiffs shall be responsible for filing the Case Management Conference 

Statement, as well as for arranging the Case Management Conference call. All parties shall be on the 

line and shall call (510) 637-3559 at the above indicated date and time.
