Vetere v. Northwell Health, Inc. et al Doc. 14 1 Jonathan A. Rich, Esq. Nevada Bar No.: 15312 2 COZEN O'CONNOR 500 North Rainbow Blvd., Suite 300 3 Las Vegas, NV 89107 Telephone: (702) 470-2324 4 Facsimile: (702) 470-2359 Email: JARich@cozen.com 5 Attorney for Defendant 6 Perry Johnson & Associates, Inc. 7 8 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 9 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 10 11 RICHARD VETERE, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, 12 Plaintiff, 13 v. 14 NORTHWELL HEALTH, INC. and PERRY 15 JOHNSON & ASSOCIATES, INC., 16 CASE NO.: 2:23-cv-01900 -RFB-DJA STIPULATION TO EXTEND TIME FOR DEFENDANTS PERRY JOHNSON & ASSOCIATES, INC. AND NORTHWELL HEALTH, INC. TO RESPOND TO PLAINTIFF RICHARD VETERE’S COMPLAINT Defendants. (FIRST REQUEST) 17 18 19 20 Plaintiff Richard Vetere, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, 21 (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants Perry Johnson & Associates, Inc. (“PJ&A”) and Northwell Health, Inc. 22 (“Northwell” and, collectively with PJ&A, “Defendants”) stipulate and respectfully request under 23 Local Rule IA 6 that this Court extend the time for Defendants to respond to Plaintiff’s complaint 24 in the above-captioned action (the “Complaint”) until March 1, 2024. 25 Plaintiff filed the Complaint on November 17, 2023 and served PJ&A on November 21, 26 2023. Northwell executed a waiver of service that was entered on November 28, 2023. 27 On December 8, 2023, a Motion for Transfer of Actions to United States District Court for 28 the District of Nevada for Coordinated or Consolidated Pretrial Proceedings Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 1 141963221_3 Dockets.Justia.com 1 § 1407 (the “Motion”) was filed in the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (“JPML”). See In 2 re Perry Johnson & Associates Medical Transcription Data Security Breach Litigation, Case MDL 3 No. 3096, ECF No. 1 (December 8, 2023). The motion directly concerns the potential consolidation 4 and transfer of at least forty-five related putative class action complaints. The JPML heard oral 5 arguments on the Motion on January 25, 2024. 6 Defendants’ individual responses are currently due by January 29, 2024. 7 This extension is necessary to allow the JPML sufficient time to evaluate the various related 8 actions, twenty-one of which have been filed in this District alone. A list of these related actions is 9 included as Appendix A. As nearly every party has agreed that centralization is proper, the primary 10 question for the JPML is where to centralize the cases, not whether to centralize them. 11 Plaintiff and the Defendants consent to this request. This is the first request for extension of 12 time for this deadline. The parties respectfully submit that there is good cause for this extension and 13 the requested extension is not for the purpose of delay. 14 / / / 15 / / / 16 IT IS SO STIPULATED. 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 2 141963221_3 1 2 3 4 5 6 Dated: January 26, 2024.
