UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARTIN FERNANDEZ, on Behalf 

of Himself and All Others 

Similarly Situated,

Plaintiff,

v.

LEIDOS, INC.; and SCIENCE 

APPLICATIONS INTERNATIONAL, 

INC.,

Defendants.

No. 2:14-cv-02247-GEB-KJN

ORDER EXTENDING TIME TO RESPOND 

TO COMPLAINT 

On October 23, 2014, Defendant Leidos, Inc. (“Leidos”) 

filed a Supplemental Ex Parte Application for Extension of Time 

to File Response to Complaint under Local Rule 144(c), in which 

it requests an order permitting “Leidos to respond to the 

Complaint . . . 28 days following the final determination by the 

[Joint Panel on Multidistrict Litigation] of Leidos’s motion to 

transfer this action.” (Supp. Ex Parte Appl. 2:9-11, ECF No. 16.) 

Leidos states as follows in support of its request:

Yesterday, the Joint Panel on Multidistrict 

Litigation (JPML) issued an Order putting 

this case on its hearing calendar for 

December 4, 2014, and stating that the JPML 

will at that time consider whether “to reopen 

MDL No. 2360 and to transfer th[is] action to 

the United States District Court for the 

District of Columbia.” On this basis, 

Defendant Leidos, Inc. respectfully submits 

the following supplemental brief in support 

of its ex parte application for an extension

of time to respond to the Class Action 

Complaint (“Complaint”). Leidos is mindful of 

this Court’s amended order, but believes the 

Court would want to be apprised of this 

development.

Leidos’s response to the Complaint 

currently is due on November 17, 2014. As the 

JPML will consider whether to transfer this 

case during its December 4, 2014 calendar, 

and will issue its decision thereafter, 

Leidos believes that judicial efficiency 

would best be served by permitting the JPML 

to determine the proper venue for this case 

prior to the filing and briefing of a motion 

to dismiss in this Court. Leidos therefore 

respectfully requests . . . [the referenced] 

extension order . . . . 

(Id. at 1:25-2:11.)

Leidos’s extension request is granted. The time for all 

Defendants to respond to the Complaint is extended until 28 days 

following a final determination by the JPML on whether to reopen 

MDL No. 2360 and transfer this action to the United States 

District Court for the District of the District of Columbia. 

Dated: November 5, 2014
