STIPULATED MOTION AND ORDER

SETTING FRCP 26(F) CONFERENCE

AND MOTION TO DISMISS

BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND

LENGTH

NOTE ON MOTION CALENDAR:

October 6, 2026

Plaintiff Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") and the States, and Defendant Amazon.com, Inc. ("Amazon") (collectively the "Parties"), by and through their counsel, stipulate and agree, subject to the Court's approval, as follows:

1. On August 31, 2026, Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Amazon in the above- captioned action. Amazon waived service of the Summons and Complaint. Dkt. 13 at 1. Accordingly, absent an extension of time, Amazon's deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint is October 30, 2026. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d)(3).

2. To allow the Parties to fully apprise the Court of their arguments regarding any motion to dismiss made pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P 12(b), the Parties stipulate, subject to Court approval, as follows and jointly request that the Court enter the following Order approving that stipulation:

1

(2:26-cv-03097-JHC) - 2 a. The Parties shall conduct a conference pursuant to FRCP 26(f) by October 28, 2026;

b. The Parties shall exchange initial disclosures pursuant to FRCP 26(a)(1) by November 12, 2026;

c. The Parties shall submit to the Court a joint status report and discovery plan pursuant to FRCP 26(f) and LCR 26(f) by November 19, 2026; d. Amazon shall answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint on or before December 7, 2026;

e. Plaintiffs shall file their opposition to any motion to dismiss on or before January 27, 2027;

f. Amazon shall file its reply in support of any motion to dismiss on or before February 17, 2027; and

3. The Complaint contains 49 separate claims, including claims under the laws of 22 states. Given this complexity, the Parties propose over-length briefs on any motion to dismiss. If Amazon responds to the Complaint by motion, the word count for Amazon's motion to dismiss shall not exceed 16,800 words; the combined word count for Plaintiffs' oppositions shall not exceed 16,800 words; and the combined word count for Amazon's reply in support of its motion to dismiss shall not exceed 8,400 words.

4. By entering into this stipulation, no Party waives, and each Party expressly reserves, the right to seek relief regarding the scope, timing, or sequencing of discovery. Defendant reserves the right to seek a stay of discovery pending resolution of any motion to dismiss.

5. The Parties jointly request that the Court grant this stipulated motion through entry of the Proposed Order below.
