PLEASE TAKE NOTICE, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 15(a)(1)(B) and by today’s filing of

STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING FILING FIRST AMENDED
COMPLAINT

CASE NO 3:16-CV-07315-RS

1

Holdings, LLC (“MHGEH”) and McGraw-Hill School Education Holdings, LLC (“MHSEH”) have

2

not filed an answer, but rather filed a motion to dismiss the Complaint on January 26, 2017 pursuant

3

to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 12(b)(6) (Doc. 17).

4

Although not required by Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 15(a)(1)(B), Defendant MHGEH has provided

5

written consent to the filing of the FAC. (Because the FAC deletes Defendant MHSEH from this

6

case, MHSEH takes no position.)

7
8

THE PARTIES STIPULATE that the Defendant MHGEH waives notice and service of the
amended complaint.

9

THE PARTIES FURTHER STIPULATE that the removal of MHSEH as defendant is

10

without prejudice and that Viesti and MHSEH each bear their own costs and attorney’s fees related to

11

the filing of the FAC.

12

THE PARTIES FURTHER STIPULATE that two motions filed by Defendants MHGEH

13

and MHSEH (Motion to Transfer (Doc. 16) and Motion to Dismiss (Doc. 17)) remain pending before

14

the Court (albeit with MHSEH to be removed from the action).
