Case No. 1:06!CV!01116!AWI!LJO

AMENDED STIPULATION AND ORDER TO

CONTINUE PRETRIAL DEADLINES

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties through their designated counsel

that the deadline for Defendants to answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint in this

action should be extended. Defendants seek to transfer this case to the Multi-District Litigation

proceeding established in the United States District Court, District of Minnesota (“MDL court”), and

Plaintiff has indicated that she will soon be filing a motion to remand this case to state court.

Accordingly, the following deadlines will be modified as follows:

The deadline for Defendants to file an answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s complaint

shall be as follows:

(a) if the case is not remanded to state court, and is transferred to the MDL court, any

response will be due pursuant to a deadline set by the MDL court;

(b) if the case is not remanded and also is not transferred to the MDL court, any response

will be due thirty (30) days after the decision by the JPML denying transfer to the MDL court; or

(c) if the case is remanded, any response will be due thirty (30) days after the remand

decision by this Court. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
