Hon. Claudia Wilken

PLAINTIFFS’ STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER DENYING MOTION 

TO CHANGE CLASS CERTIFICATION HEARING AND BRIEFING DATES

Plaintiffs and Defendant (the “Parties”) in the above-captioned direct purchaser class 

cases hereby stipulate to, and respectfully seek, a change of the dates of the class certification 

hearing and briefing established by the December 12, 2007 Case Management Order. 

The Parties seek to delay class certification briefing schedule by just over one month. 

Under the new class certification schedule: (1) Plaintiffs’ opening motion and brief would be due 

May 5, 2008; (2) Defendant’s response would be due June 16, 2008; (3) Plaintiffs’ reply would 

be due July 14, 2008; and (4) oral argument would be scheduled for Thursday, August 7, 2008, at 

2:00 p.m. 

None of these changes affects the intervals between briefs, nor does the proposal alter the 

interval between the close of briefing and the proposed hearing date. Additionally, the parties 

agree that no other dates in the Court’s schedule for these cases would need to change. The
