LINDA JACKSON, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

SAFEWAY, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 15-cv-04419-JSC 

PRETRIAL ORDER NO. 1

The Court is in receipt of the parties’ competing case schedules. (Dkt. No. 46.) The Court 

ORDERS the following schedule:

Deadline to move to amend the complaint: June 23, 2016

Deadline to file motion for class certification: July 6, 2017

Deadline to file opposition to certification: July 27, 2017

Deadline to file reply in support of certification: August 10, 2017

Oral argument on class certification motion: August 24, 2017

Initial expert designation: September 30, 2017

Fact discovery cut off: December 1, 2017

Discovery is open without limitations. The Court cannot address whether discovery should 

be phased without having an in-person discussion with the parties. Further, if Defendant wants the 

Court to consider phasing discovery, it needs to commit to making an early motion for summary 

judgment on a particular issue(s) and needs to identify what discovery it believes should go 

forward and what discovery should be delayed. And, Defendant needs to be prepared to move for 

summary judgment as soon as possible—Defendant’s statement regarding its proposed schedule 

does not explain why it needs until October 2016 to file its proposed motion.

Accordingly, the case management conference previously scheduled for July 23, 2016 is 

moved up to June 16, 2016 at 1:30 p.m. On or before June 2, 2016, Defendant shall provide to

judgment, when it will so move, and the discovery it believes can be forestalled until after the 

Court rules on the motion. On or before June 9, 2016, the parties shall file their updated case 

management conference statement. The statement need only address these issues.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
