2. Numerous similar actions are currently pending In re Viagra Products Liability

Litigation, MDL Case No. 1724, in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota

(hereinafter “MDL Court”).

3. On July 10, 2006, this plaintiff effected personal service on PFIZER. By letter dated

July 20, 2006 (copy attached), defendant PFIZER identified this action as a potential “tag-along”

action, and requested its transfer to the MDL Court.

4. The parties agree that this action is appropriate for transfer to the MDL Court, and

stipulate to the transfer of this action to the MDL Court as soon as possible. The parties agree that

all deadlines in this Court shall be stayed pending the most expeditious transfer of the action to the

MDL Court. 

5. The parties further agree that PFIZER’s time to respond to the complaint shall be

extended until thirty days after the action is docketed in the MDL Court.

6. This is the first request for an extension in this action.
