STIPULATION AND ORDER FOR FURTHER EXTENSION OF CASE DEADLINES—14-CV-04601-WHO 

Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, the parties stipulate to and jointly request a brief extension 

of case deadlines. 

Procedural History and Prior Extensions. An initial case management scheduling order 

was entered on October 16, 2014. Dkt. 5. By stipulation, the Court entered an amended case 

management scheduling order on December 22, 2014. Dkt. 38. Following an in person meet and 

confer, on December 11, 2015 the Court entered a revised briefing and discovery schedule. Dkt. 92. 

On June 7, 2016, Counsel for Plaintiffs Ilana Farar, Andrea Lopez, and Rosanne Cosgrove 

(“Plaintiffs”) and Counsel for Defendants Bayer AG, Bayer Corporation, and Bayer HealthCare LLC 

(collectively, “Bayer”) appeared before the Court telephonically to resolve a discovery dispute 

concerning the scope of Plaintiffs’ Third Requests for Production. Dkt. 115. As part of its ruling, 

the Court extended the close of fact discovery from May 9, 2016 until July 9, 2016. Id. 

On July 8, 2016 the parties filed a stipulation and proposed order on discovery and 

scheduling. Dkt. 119. Pursuant to the stipulation, the Court extended the discovery schedule which 

included extending the close of fact discovery from July 9, 2016 to September 9, 2016. Dkt. 120. 

On September 6, 2016, Bayer filed a motion for extension of case deadlines to complete 

discovery which Plaintiffs did not oppose. Dkt. 124. The Court granted the motion and extended all 

case deadlines by 60 days. 

Scheduling of Expert Deposition. Bayer is seeking to depose Plaintiffs’ expert witness Dr. 

Blonz. Bayer proposed February 16, 2017 as the date for the deposition; however, Plaintiffs 

informed Bayer that Dr. Blonz was unavailable on February 16 but was available March 6, 7, 8, or 9. 

Bayer agreed to schedule the deposition for March 8. Currently, the date for Bayer’s response to 

Plaintiffs’ class certification motion is March 13, 2017. A brief extension of deadlines is requested 

to provide Bayer with adequate time to prepare its response brief. 

Requested Extension. The parties respectfully request that the Court extend the following 

case deadlines as follows:
