UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF FLORIDA 

MIAMI DIVISION 

PATRICK AKERLUND, et al., 

Plaintiff, 

v. 

ATLAS AIR, INC., et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 1:22-cv-23519-KMM-LFL 

THE PARTIES’ EXPEDITED MOTION TO ENTER A JOINT STIPULATION 

 The Parties—Plaintiffs along with Defendants Atlas Air, Inc. (“Atlas”) and Flight Services 

International, Inc. (“FSI”)—hereby jointly move on an expedited basis for the Court to allow the 

Parties to enter a Joint Stipulation regarding Defendants’ obligations to respond to Plaintiffs’ Third 

Amended Complaint. 

 The Parties respectfully request a ruling from the Court on their Expedited Motion by 

October 31, 2023. The Parties seek a ruling by this date because without this ruling, Defendants, 

including dismissed-party FSI, would be required to file a duplicative and unnecessary motion to 

dismiss, addressing ten Counts of the Third Amended Complaint that this Court dismissed in its 

September 20, 2023 Order [ECF No. 73] and concerning Plaintiffs’ claims against Defendants that 

this Court determined it lacks personal jurisdiction over by November 1, 2023. The proposed Joint 

Stipulation will enable Defendant Atlas to only respond to one Count in the Third Amended 

Complaint and will obviate the need for Defendant FSI to respond at all. 

 A copy of the Parties’ proposed Joint Stipulation is attached as Exhibit A. And a proposed 

order granting the Expedited Motion and entering the Parties’ Joint Stipulation is attached as 

Exhibit B.
