STIPULATION AND ORDER TO EXTEND TIME TO ANSWER COMPLAINT
Barbara J. Rothstein U.S. District Court Judge
Under Western District of Washington Local Rules 7(d)(1) and 10(g), Plaintiff Ania Villalon and Defendant T-Mobile USA, Inc., (“the Parties”), stipulate that T-Mobile's deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint in the above-captioned action is extended for a total of 30 days, through October 20, 2021.
Good cause exists for this extension, as there is a pending motion before the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) regarding transfer and coordination or consolidation of related cases for pretrial proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1407, filed on August 23, 2021. See In re T-Mobile Customer Data Security Breach Litigation., MDL Docket No. 3019 (ECF No. 1). The plaintiffs in another case, Daruwalla v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., No. 2:21-cv-1118 (W.D. Wash. filed Aug. 19, 2021), filed the transfer motion and identified this case, and numerous others, as related cases that should be transferred. Id. (ECF Nos. 1, 8-1, 11, 20). The additional 30 days will conserve judicial resources by allowing T-Mobile to assess the pending JPML motion and continue discussions with Plaintiffs' counsel here and counsel in the related cases before responding to Plaintiffs' Complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
