Welt, Liquidating Trustee ("AASI"), respectfully request that the Court enter the parties' stipulation below that extends the time for each of the Stipulating Defendants to file an answer to AASI's Complaint ("Complaint") (ECF No. 1).

FACTUAL BACKGROUND TO PARTIES' STIPULATION

In support of this stipulation, the undersigned parties provide the following facts, which are verified in the supporting Declaration of Ian K. Bausback filed concurrently herewith:

1. On August 29, 2016, AASI filed a Complaint in the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. (ECF No. 1.)

2. On December 29, 2016, the Court in the Southern District of Florida ordered that Defendants respond to the Complaint within 45 days of the Court's order on Defendant's motion to transfer this action to the United States District Court, Northern District of California. (ECF No. 55.)

3. On June 14, 2017, the Court in the Southern District of Florida ordered that this action be transferred to the Northern District of California. (ECF No. 105.)

4. On July 14, 2017, this action was reassigned to this Court from Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler. (ECF No. 137.)

5. On July 20, 2017, an Administrative Motion to Consider Whether Cases Should Be Related ("Administrative Motion") was filed in In re Capacitors Antitrust Litigation, Master File No. 3:14-cv-03264-JD, requesting that this action be related to In re Capacitors Antitrust Litigation and assigned to District Judge James Donato. (Master File No. 3:14-cv-03264-JD, ECF No. 1757.) Other related cases have previously been transferred to Judge Donato.

6. The Stipulating Defendants' current deadline to respond to the Complaint is July 31, 2017.
