STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 

3:16-cv-01093-LB 

Plaintiff and Defendant stipulate that the date for Defendant to respond to the Complaint 

shall be extended to April 30, 2016. In support of this request, the parties state: 

This is one of a number of lawsuits filed in various federal courts alleging that the 

plaintiff’s use of Viagra caused him to develop melanoma. On December 11, 2015, several of 

these plaintiffs filed a petition with the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”), 

requesting that all such lawsuits be coordinated for pretrial purposes in an MDL proceeding, and 

suggesting that the MDL be established in the Northern District of California. 

On December 22, 2015, Defendant responded to the petition, agreeing that an MDL 

proceeding would be appropriate and that the Northern District of California would be an 

appropriate venue for the MDL. 

Plaintiff’s petition will be heard at the next JPML hearing, on March 31, 2016 in Santa 

Barbara. 

To ensure that the Court and the parties do not needlessly expend resources before the 

JPML decides which court and judge will preside over the expected MDL proceeding, the parties 

believe it is sensible to extend the time for Defendant to respond to Plaintiff’s Complaint to April 

30, 2016. By that date, the parties expect that an MDL proceeding will be established, and that 

the MDL court will later establish a global process for the filing of and responses to complaints.
