Plaintiff STEPHEN JACKSON (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant FORD MOTOR COMPANY 

(“Defendant” or “Ford”), collectively referred to as the “Parties,” by and through their respective 

counsel, have met and conferred regarding the briefing schedule on Defendant’s motion to dismiss 

Plaintiff’s First Amended Class Action Complaint (“FAC”), and subject to Court approval, hereby 

stipulate as follows: 

1. On February 7, 2024, Plaintiff filed the original complaint (Dkt. 1); and 

2. On April 18, 2024, the Court granted Defendant’s L.R. 28-day extension to respond to June 

3, 2024 (Dkt. 15); and

3. On May 24, 2024, and pursuant to the Parties’ Joint Status Report (Dkt. 16), the Court granted 

the Parties’ stipulation for Plaintiff to file an amended complaint on July 3, 2024 and for 

Defendant to respond on August 23, 2024 (Dkt. 19); and

4. On July 3, 2024, the FAC was filed (Dkt. 28) which adds new plaintiffs; and

5. Defendant contends that the claims in the FAC are subject to dismissal on multiple grounds, 

including for lack of personal jurisdiction under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(2), improper venue 

under Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b)(3), and failure to state a claim under Fed. R. Civ. P 12(b)(6), and 

that researching and briefing these issues requires modest time and page extensions; and

6. The Parties have continued to confer regarding the potential motion to dismiss and have 

agreed that Defendant’s response to the FAC shall be extended until September 13, 2024, 

Plaintiffs’ shall have no less than forty-five (45) days, up to and including October 28, 2024, 

thereafter to oppose any potential motion filed by Defendant, and Defendant shall have no 

less than twenty-five (25) days, up to and including November 22, 2024 to reply. 

7. The Parties further agree that the following page limits shall apply: moving brief 30 pages; 

opposition brief 30 pages; reply brief 18 pages.
