WHEREAS, Plaintiff Joy Nwabueze (“Plaintiff”) caused the Summons and
Complaint in this action to be served on Defendant AT&T Inc. on April 30, 2009;
WHEREAS, Plaintiff subsequently filed a First Amended Complaint for Damages,
Declaratory and Injunctive Relief on August 13, 2009;
WHEREAS, Defendant AT&T, Inc. filed a Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal

6

Jurisdiction pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, on

7

September 18, 2009, and that motion was taken off calendar pending the resolution of the

8

Motion to Dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure filed

9

by the other Defendants and joined by AT&T Inc. in the alternative;

10

WHEREAS, in a Minute Order dated February 4, 2011, the Court terminated all

11

prior motions to dismiss and set March 18, 2011 as the date by which any such motions to

12

dismiss must be refiled, if necessary;

13

WHEREAS, parties have been engaged in discussions regarding the possible

14

dismissal without prejudice of Defendant AT&T, Inc., and require additional time to

15

complete such discussions;

16

WHEREAS, Defendant AT&T, Inc. requested, and Plaintiff agreed, to stipulate to a

17

thirty-day extension of the time until April 18, 2011, within which Defendant AT&T, Inc.

18

must respond to the First Amended Complaint;

19

WHEREAS, on March 14, 2011, the Court entered an Order granting the thirty-day

20

extension of time for Defendant AT&T, Inc. to respond to the First Amended Complaint.

22

an additional thirty-day extension of the time, until May 18, 2011, within which Defendant

23

AT&T, Inc. must respond to the First Amended Complaint;

24

WHEREAS, the parties believe that deferring the issue of personal jurisdiction over

efficiencies and judicial economy;

28

WHEREAS, the extension will not alter the date of any event or deadline already
fixed by Court order other than Defendant AT&T, Inc.’s response date;
