(collectively the “Parties”) hereby stipulate and agree to the following:

plaintiffs in Janney have filed an opposition;
WHEREAS, the court in the Janney matter has entered an order postponing the Initial
Case Management Conference in that case until after a ruling on the motion to dismiss; and

10

WHEREAS, the Parties want to promote judicial economy and efficiency and believe

11

that those interests would be undermined for briefing to occur in the above-captioned action that
