Pursuant to Local Rules 7-1(a)(5) and 7-12 and Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15,
National Abortion Federation (“NAF” or “Plaintiff”) and Defendants Center for Medical
Progress, Biomax Procurement Services, LLC, David Daleiden (collectively, “CMP Defendants”)
and Troy Newman (collectively, “Defendants”), file this stipulation to extend NAF’s deadline to
challenge subpoenas issued by the Arizona Attorney General and Louisiana Inspector General to
CMP:
WHEREAS, the Court issued its ruling on NAF’s motion for preliminary injunction on
February 5, 2016 (Dkt. 354);
WHEREAS, on April 6, 2016, the parties stipulated to extend NAF’s deadline to either:
(1) complete its meet-and-confer discussions with the Arizona Attorney General and/or the
Louisiana Inspector General; or (2) initiate litigation concerning the subpoenas to April 20, 2016
(Dkt. 364);
WHEREAS, the parties also stipulated that “no audio or video footage, documents, or any
other material covered by this Court’s Preliminary Injunction Order, as modified by the Court,
may be produced in response to the subpoenas issued by the Arizona Attorney General and
Louisiana Inspector General unless and until: (1) NAF and representatives of either or both the
Arizona Attorney General and Louisiana Inspector General reach agreement concerning the
scope, terms, and conditions of any production in response to their respective subpoenas. An
agreement with one state does not authorize a response with respect to the other state; or (2) If
NAF initiates litigation in accordance with Paragraph 1 above, disputes concerning the particular
subpoena are resolved by the court in which that litigation is filed.” Id.
WHEREAS, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation on April 6, 2016 (Dkt. 365);
WHEREAS, counsel for NAF represents that it has engaged in meet and confer
discussions directly with representatives of the Arizona Attorney General and Louisiana Inspector
General, continues to engage in such discussions, and is approaching resolution of both of the
subpoenas;

WHEREAS, it is in the best interests of the Court and the parties to extend NAF’s
deadline to reach agreement concerning the appropriate scope of a production or initiate litigation
from April 20, 2016 for an additional forty (40) days to May 30, 2016;
WHEREAS, extending this deadline will not impact the existing schedule in this
litigation;
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED and agreed to by and between the
parties, subject to the approval of the Court, that:
1. NAF may have until May 30, 2016 to either (1) complete its meet-and-confer
discussions with the Arizona Attorney General and/or the Louisiana Inspector General, or (2)
initiate litigation concerning the subpoenas issued by the Arizona Attorney General and/or
Louisiana Inspector General in the appropriate fora.
2. No audio or video footage, documents, or any other material covered by this Court’s
Preliminary Injunction Order may be produced in response to the subpoenas issued by the
Arizona Attorney General and Louisiana Inspector General unless and until: (1) NAF and
representatives of either or both the Arizona Attorney General and Louisiana Inspector General
reach agreement concerning the scope, terms, and conditions of any production in response to
their respective subpoenas. An agreement with one state does not authorize a response with
respect to the other state; or (2) If NAF initiates litigation in accordance with Paragraph 1 above,
and disputes concerning the particular subpoena are resolved by the court in which that litigation
is filed. In the event that NAF does not reach an agreement or initiate litigation with respect to
either or both subpoenas, CMP may respond on May 31, 2016 to the particular subpoena or
subpoenas for which there is no agreement or litigation pending.
