STIPULATION

Plaintiffs, Cung Le, Nathan Quarry, Jon Fitch, Luis Javier Vazquez, Dennis

3

Hallman, Brandon Vera, Pablo Garza, Gabe Ruediger, Mac Danzig, Kyle Kingsbury and

4

Darren Uyenoyama, and Defendant Zuffa, LLC (collectively, “the Parties”) file this

5

Stipulation To File A Consolidated Amended Complaint And To Extend Defendant Zuffa,

6

LLC’s Deadline to Answer Plaintiffs’ Consolidated Amended Complaint Accordingly.

7

On September 25, 2015, the Court held a hearing on Zuffa’s Motions to Dismiss

8

each of Plaintiffs’ five substantively identical complaints. On September 27, 2015, Minute

9

Orders were entered denying Zuffa’s Motions to Dismiss each of Plaintiffs’ five

10

complaints. Le Dkt. 186, Vazquez Dkt. 77, Vera, Dkt. 76, Ruediger Dkt. 52, Kingsbury

11

Dkt. 48.

12

On October 12, 2015, the parties filed a Stipulation to Extend Defendant Zuffa,

13

LLC’s Deadline To Answer Plaintiffs’ Complaints. (Dkt. 191.) At the November 17th

14

Status Conference, the Court indicated it would grant the stipulation once a corrected

15

image was filed in compliance with Local Rule 6. Because this stipulation renders moot

16

Dkt. 191, the parties will withdraw Dkt. 191.

17

To promote efficiency, the parties further agree that within thirty (30) days of the

18

entry of an Order approving this Stipulation by the Court, Plaintiffs may file a

19

Consolidated Amended Complaint that consolidates each of the five complaints in Le,

20

Vazquez, Vera, Ruediger, and Kingsbury into a single consolidated complaint. At this

21

time, Plaintiffs do not seek leave to make substantive changes to the allegations in the

22

proposed Consolidated Amended Complaint, but may reduce the total number of proposed

23

representative plaintiffs.

24

The Parties further agree that Zuffa may have thirty (30) days from the filing of the

25

Consolidated Amended Complaint to file a consolidated Answer to the Plaintiffs’

26

proposed Consolidated Amended Complaint. Accordingly, the parties request that the

27

Court enter an Order approving the instant Stipulation To File A Consolidated Amended

28

Complaint And To Extend Defendant Zuffa, LLC’s Deadline to Answer Plaintiffs’

Stipulation to File Consolidated Amended Complaint and to Extend Time

Case 2:15-cv-01045-RFB-PAL Document 202 Filed 11/19/15 Page 4 of 8

Consolidated Amended Complaint Accordingly. The extension will not alter the date of

2

any event or deadline already fixed by Court order. This is the Plaintiffs’ first request to

3

file a consolidated amended complaint and Zuffa’s second request for an extension of

4

time with regard to its Answers.
