--------
Whereas, the motions to dismiss the Motorola TAC are currently set for hearing on November 4, 2011;
Whereas, the motions to dismiss the Jaco FAC are currently set for hearing on November 18, 2011;
Whereas, on October 19, 2011, counsel for the Direct Purchaser Plaintiff class filed an application with the Court seeking to continue the hearing on the motions to dismiss the Motorola TAC to November 18, 2011, December 2, 2011, or another date of the Court's choosing;
Whereas, PENAC, Samsung SDI, Sanyo CE and Motorola object to moving the hearing date on the motions to dismiss the Motorola TAC, and believe that a continuance of the hearing on the motions to dismiss the Motorola TAC, if the Court chooses to grant one, should be as short as possible, given the "Track One" trial schedule;
Whereas, the parties believe that in the interest of efficiency, the motions to dismiss the Motorola TAC should be decided prior to further briefing on the motions to dismiss the Jaco FAC, because the Jaco motions assert similar arguments to those raised in connection with the Motorola motions to dismiss.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED by and among the undersigned counsel, on behalf of their respective clients, Motorola and Jaco, on the one hand, and, PENAC, Royal Philips, Samsung SDI, Sanyo CE, Sanyo NA and Hannstar, on the other hand, as follows:
1. Should the Court grant the DPPs' request to continue the hearing on the motions to dismiss the Motorola TAC, the hearing on all three motions shall be continued to November 18, 2011;
2. The hearing on the motions to dismiss the Jaco FAC shall be continued to January 6, 2011, and the briefing schedule shall be extended, as follows:
a. Oppositions to be filed by: December 14, 2011
b. Replies to be filed by: December 23, 2011
