1 The Honorable Jamal N. Whitehead

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 8 WESTERN DISTRICT OF WASHINGTON AT SEATTLE GIAUNIE HENDRIX, individually and on behalf of all others similarly situated, No. 2:25-cv-01663-JNW 11 Plaintiff, STIPULATED MOTION AND 12 v. [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR CONSOLIDATION AND FILING LENOVO (UNITED STATES) INC., OF CONSOLIDATED AMENDED COMPLAINT 14 Defendant.

NOTE ON MOTION CALENDAR: 15 November 6, 2025 STEPHEN LISS and JOSHUA TAYLOR, on No. 3:25-cv-05840-JNW their own behalf and on behalf of others similarly situated, STIPULATED MOTION AND 18 [PROPOSED] ORDER FOR Plaintiffs, CONSOLIDATION AND FILING 19 OF CONSOLIDATED AMENDED v. COMPLAINT LENOVO (UNITED STATES) INC., NOTE ON MOTION CALENDAR: 21 November 6, 2025 Defendant.

STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER 1 STIPULATED MOTION 2 Pursuant to Local Civil Rules 7(d)(1), 10(g) and 42(b), and Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 6 and 42, the Parties stipulate and agree as follows: 4 1. The above-captioned proposed class actions (“Hendrix” and “Liss/Taylor”) each allege claims against Lenovo (United States) Inc. (“Lenovo”) based on Lenovo’s alleged violations of the Commercial Electronic Mail Act and Consumer Protection Act. See Hendrix, Dkt. 1-2 (“Hendrix Compl.”); Liss/Taylor, Dkt. 1-1 (“Liss/Taylor Compl.”).

8 2. Both cases are putative class actions with overlapping classes. Hendrix Compl.

9 ¶ 47 (defining putative class as “all Washington residents who received promotional emails from Lenovo with subject lines advertising sales or discounts on Lenovo Products”); Liss/Taylor Compl. ¶ 92 (defining putative class as “[a]ll Washington citizens holding an email address to which Defendant sent or caused to be sent any email listed in Exhibit A during the Class Period.”). Exhibit A to the Liss/Taylor Complaint lists alleged promotional emails from Lenovo with subject lines purportedly advertising sales or discounts on Lenovo products. Liss/Taylor Compl., Ex. A.

16 3. Recognizing the similarities between the cases, Lenovo filed notices of related case in both Hendrix and Liss/Taylor pursuant to LCR 3(g). See Hendrix Dkt. 15; Liss/Taylor Dkt. 14.

19 4. Counsel for Lenovo and counsel for the Plaintiffs in both Hendrix and Liss/Taylor have conferred about consolidating the two actions. The Parties agree that consolidation of the Hendrix and Liss/Taylor actions is appropriate because the actions involve materially similar factual and legal allegations and consolidation will result in substantial efficiencies in managing both cases. See In re Valve Antitrust Litig., 2024 WL 5009034, at *1 (W.D. Wash. Dec. 6, 2024) (finding “that given the sole defendant and overlapping factual and legal issues, consolidation will promote judicial economy, ensure consistent results, and streamline matters overall” and consolidating cases); Doe v. Fred Hutchinson Cancer Ctr., 2024 WL 69881, at *1 (W.D. Wash. STIPULATED MOTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER Jan. 5, 2024) (“Consolidation is appropriate [where] … the [two] actions present common questions of law and fact and there are substantial efficiencies to be gained.”).

3 5. Because consolidation will require the filing of a consolidated amended complaint, the Parties have discussed and agreed upon a schedule for filing the consolidated amended complaint.

6 6. Based on the foregoing, the Parties stipulate and agree as follows, subject to the Court’s approval: 8 • The Hendrix and Liss/Taylor actions shall be consolidated under the earlier- 9 filed Hendrix case number; 10 • Plaintiffs shall file a consolidated amended complaint within 30 days of the 11 Court’s order granting this stipulation to consolidate; and 12 • The parties request that the Court issue an Amended Initial Scheduling Order 13 following any order granting this stipulation to consolidate, to allow for the 14 filing of the consolidated amended complaint before the initial case deadlines.

15 7. The Parties have previously sought and obtained prior extensions of time in these matters. The deadline for Lenovo to respond to the consolidated amended complaint and associated briefing schedule for any responsive motion will be addressed by later stipulation of the Parties.

20 IT IS SO STIPULATED.
