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

2

Song, Rachel Gurley, Andrew Luna, Mario Gordon, and Melani Gordon, and Defendant T-Mobile

3

USA, Inc. (together “the Parties”), hereby stipulate to stay all proceedings and deadlines in this

4

action until the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”) rules on the pending motion to

5

transfer under 28 U.S.C. § 1407 (“MDL Petition”). See In re: T-Mobile Customer Data Sec.

6

Breach Litig. (“In re: T-Mobile”), MDL No. 3019 (ECF No. 1). In support of this stipulated

7

motion, the Parties state:

8

Plaintiffs filed this case on October 27, 2021. See ECF No. 1. In a related case, this Court

9

recently granted T-Mobile’s motion requesting a stay pending the JPML’s ruling on the MDL

10
11
12
13

Petition, finding:
Any delay arising from a stay is likely to be short, and Plaintiffs
have not demonstrated that any significant prejudice would result
from a short stay. A stay is also likely to conserve judicial resources,
as well as the parties’ resources, until the JPML decides whether
(and if so, where) to transfer the dozens of similar cases for
coordinated or consolidated pretrial proceedings.

14
Daruwalla v. T-Mobile USA, Inc., No. 2:21-cv-01118-BJR (W.D. Wash. Oct. 29, 2021) (ECF No.
15
39). The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court enter a short stay of all proceedings
16
here, including the deadlines for responding to the complaint, filing any motion to dismiss or
17
moving to compel arbitration, until the JPML rules on the MDL Petition.
