Re: John L. Rust and Karen J. Rust v.
Biomedical Tissue Services, LTD., et al;
C.A. No. 07-222 (GMS)
Dear Judge Sleet:
l write to explain the additional extension being requested in the Stipulation to
Further Extend Time being filed concurrently herewith. On May 9, 2007, the Clerk of the
Multidistrict Litigation Panel issued a Conditional Transfer Order ("CTO") to transfer this matter
to the District of New Jersey under 28 USC §l407. Objections to this CTO are due by May 24,
2007. We have learned that plaintiffs counsel will not oppose transfer. Nevertheless, it is
highly unlikely that the actual transfer of this case to the District of New Jersey will be
completed prior to May 30, 2007, the current deadline for Medtronic to answer, move or
otherwise plead. In order to allow sufficient time for the Multidistrict Litigation process to be
completed prior to the time when Defendant Medtronic must respond to the Complaint, we are
jointly requesting an additional thirty (3 0) day extension for Medtronic to respond to the
Complaint, until June 29, 2007.
Counsel are available should the Court have any questions.
espectfully,
1 M
