STIPULATION
WHEREAS, this Court previously entered a briefing schedule directing McKinsey to file
its Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss by September 11, 2026; Plaintiffs to file an opposition to that
motion to dismiss by November 10, 2026; and McKinsey to file its reply by December 11, 2026
(ECF No. 987);
WHEREAS, McKinsey’s motion seeks dismissal of the First Amended Complaint (ECF
No. 692);
WHEREAS, given the nature of the claims asserted in the Amended Complaint, the
parties agree that the issues McKinsey intends to raise in its memorandum of points and
authorities in support of its motion to dismiss cannot be addressed adequately within the number
of pages contemplated by this Court’s standing order;
WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred about extending page limits given these
limitations;
WHEREAS, the parties have agreed on extending the page limits for McKinsey’s opening
memorandum of points and authorities in support of its motion to dismiss and Plaintiffs’
memorandum of points and authorities in opposition to that motion;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree and stipulate to the following page limits
for McKinsey’s motion to dismiss:
• 	Opening Memorandum of Points and Authorities: 25 pages
• 	Opposing Memorandum of Points and Authorities: 25 pages
IT IS SO STIPULATED.
