On July 18, 2013, Plaintiffs filed their Complaint in this action. On August 9, 2013, Defendants McDonnell and Cuccinelli filed a Motion to Dismiss on the Grounds of Sovereign Immunity pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(b). On this same date the Commonwealth of Virginia filed a Motion to Intervene for the purposes of defending the constitutionality of the laws challenged in Plaintiffs Complaint. According to applicable federal and local rules of civil procedure, Plaintiffs response to these motions would be due on August 23, 2013. However,

Plaintiffs contemplate filing an amended complaint that may resolve some, or all, of the issues raised in the Motion to Dismiss and the Motion to Intervene1. Accordingly, Plaintiffs request that the Court suspend briefing on these motions pending filing of an amended complaint. The parties have also agreed that Plaintiffs will file an amended complaint by August 30, 2013 and that Defendants may file responsive pleadings and/or Rule 12(b) motions within 21 days after Plaintiffs file their amended complaint. Finally, the parties have agreed, subject to the Courts approval, to establish the following schedule governing cross-motions for summary judgment: 1) Plaintiffs and Defendants shall file their respective cross-motions for summary judgment and supporting memoranda and exhibits by September 30, 2013; 2) Plaintiffs and Defendants shall file their responses to the cross-motions for summary judgment by October 24, 2013; and 3) Plaintiffs and Defendants shall file rebuttals by October 31, 2013. Counsel for all

Defendants and the Commonwealth agree with this motion and proposed deadlines and have consented to placement of their electronic signatures on the attached Consent Order. Accordingly, Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court enter the attached Consent

Defendants reserve the right to file additional motions to dismiss with respect to any amended complaint filed by Plaintiffs. 2
