response pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, or (2) 45 days after the 

JPML rules on a motion pending in In re International Air Transportation Surcharge 

Antitrust Litigation (MDL No. 1793) and a consolidated complaint is filed by all 

Plaintiffs in the single transferee Court and served on the Defendant. Plaintiff Daniel

Vesely has consented to the requested extension. In support of this stipulation, the 

parties state: 

1. The Complaint in this matter was filed on July 31, 2006. It seeks relief 

under the Sherman Act and the Clayton Act against five defendants on behalf of a 

putative class. 

2. Nearly 81 similar actions have been filed in various jurisdictions around 

the country. 

3. There is a motion pending before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict 

Litigation (“JPML”) to consolidate and transfer actions like this one to a single 

venue. The JPML is considering this motion to consolidate in a matter captioned In

re Passenger Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust Litigation, MDL No. 1793. 

4. The parties have agreed that this stipulation does not constitute a waiver 

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

jurisdiction, lack of subject matter jurisdiction, or improper venue. The Defendants 

expressly reserve their right to raise all defenses in response to either the current 

complaint or any consolidated amended complaint that may subsequently be filed 

relating to this action. 

THEREFORE, the parties request that this Court order that the time in which 

Defendants must answer or otherwise respond to this matter is the later of (1) the 

date when the Defendant would otherwise be required to file a response pursuant to 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, or (2) 45 days after the JPML rules on a motion

pending in In re Passenger Air Transportation Surcharge Antitrust Litigation (MDL
