COMPLAINT

T-MOBILE USA, INC.,

Defendant.

Under Western District of Washington Local Rule 7(d)(1) and 10(g), Plaintiffs Crystal

16

Lam and Nina Phan and Defendant T-Mobile USA, Inc., (together the “Parties”) stipulate that T-

17

Mobile’s deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint in this action is extended for
a total of 60 days through December 17, 2021.

18
Good cause exists for this extension because the motion to transfer related cases for
19

coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 is still pending before the

20

Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”). See In re T-Mobile Customer Data Sec.

Breach Litig., MDL Docket No. 3019 (J.P.M.L. filed Aug. 23, 2021) (ECF No. 1). The plaintiffs

should be transferred. See In re T-Mobile, MDL Docket No. 3019 (ECF Nos. 1, 2, 8-1, 11, 20, 48,

2

the pending JPML motion and continue discussions with Plaintiffs’ counsel here and counsel in

3

the related cases before responding to Plaintiffs’ Complaint.
Upon the Court entering or granting this 60-day extension, T-Mobile will file a notice of

4
withdrawal for its pending motion to stay. (See ECF No. 21.)
