WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Safeway Inc. and the Benefits Plans 

Committee Safeway Inc. on July 14, 2016; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on November 18, 2016 (Docket No. 37); 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on March 31, 2017 (Docket 

No. 72); 

WHEREAS, Aon filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on June 22, 

2017 (Docket No. 83); 

WHEREAS, the Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part Aon’s motion 

on December 11, 2017 (Docket No. 109); 

WHEREAS, the Parties Stipulated to Continue Case Deadlines, and this Court has entered 

orders continuing case deadlines on November 30, 2017 (Dkt. 108) and on February 20, 2018 

(Dkt. 119); 

WHEREAS, the Parties have exchanged initial disclosures, engaged in written discovery and 

exchange of documents, and will have taken 17 fact witness depositions on or before the current 

deadline to complete fact discovery on April 27, 2018; 

WHEREAS, when the current deadline to complete fact discovery passes, three additional

WHEREAS, although the Parties have been working diligently and cooperatively in the 

discovery process and in preparing this case for trial, the Parties believe that, given the number of 

Defendants and the scope of discovery, including the necessity of taking 20 depositions in no less 

than five different states, the current schedule does not provide adequate time to complete discovery 

and exchange expert reports. The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court continue the 

case deadlines as detailed below;1

WHEREAS, the Parties have previously made two requests to extend the deadlines for 

completing discovery and filing dispositive motions, and the pretrial and trial dates (Dkts. 108, 

119); 

WHEREAS, the Parties do not propose any change in the trial schedule or the remainder of 

the pretrial schedule; 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate, subject 

to the approval of the Court, to the following schedule:
