STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

3:15-cv-04989-RS 

On December 11, 2015, several Plaintiffs, without opposition, moved the Judicial Panel 

on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) to transfer and coordinate 15 actions, including the instant 

action and any “tag-along” actions, in the United States District Court for the Northern District 

of California, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1407. Defendants agree that coordination is appropriate 

and that the Northern District of California is a suitable venue. See Case MDL No. 2691, Dkt. 1 

through 1-4. 

On December 28, 2015, with briefing essentially complete in support of Plaintiffs’ 

unopposed motion to transfer, the parties jointly moved the JPML for expedited consideration of 

Plaintiffs’ unopposed motion on the January 28, 2016 hearing session. See Case MDL No. 2691, 

Dkt. 16. 

On December 29, 2015, the motion for expedited consideration was denied by the JPML. 

See Case MDL No. 2691, Dkt. 19. The next scheduled hearing session for the JPML is March 

31, 2016. 

Defendant Pfizer Inc.’s current deadline to respond to the complaint in this matter is 

January 25, 2016, pursuant to the parties’ one prior stipulation to modify the response date. Dkt 

11. 

To avoid unnecessary pleadings and provide the JPML with the time it requires to rule on 

the parties’ pending motion to transfer, defendant Pfizer Inc. and Plaintiff Lyle Toole wish to 

stipulate to extend Pfizer’s deadline to respond to the Complaint until sixty (60) days after a 

ruling by the JPML on Plaintiffs’ motion to transfer. 

This stipulation will require the Court to reschedule the case management conference 

currently scheduled for April 14, 2016 at 10:00 A.M. in Courtroom 3 to a later date. 

Based on the foregoing and pursuant to Local Rule 6-2 of the Northern District of 

California, the parties stipulate and agree to extend Pfizer’s deadline to respond to Plaintiff’s 

complaint in this matter until sixty (60) days after the JPML rules on Plaintiffs’ motion to 

transfer, described above.
