UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ALEX ANG, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

BIMBO BAKERIES USA, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 13-cv-01196-HSG 

ORDER SETTING BRIEFING 

SCHEDULE

Re: Dkt. Nos. 117, 118, 119

This matter is before the Court on Defendant Bimbo Bakeries USA, Inc.’s Request for an 

Extension of Time to File Its Opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification (the 

“Request”). Having considered that Request, the Opposition and the Reply, the Court sets the 

following briefing schedule: 

April 6, 2015 Opposition to Class Certification Motion Due

April 17, 2015 Reply in Support of Class Certification Motion Due

April 23, 2015 Hearing on Motion for Class Certification. This date will not be 

moved.

To be clear: the Court expects the parties to meet and confer and work in good faith to 

come to agreement regarding routine matters such as deposition scheduling and briefing schedules

without the Court’s intervention. No party should view the meet and confer process regarding 

these matters as an opportunity to angle for tactical advantage or extract concessions. The Court is 

amazed that even this simple issue has generated fifty pages of briefing and declarations, filled 

with dueling accusations of bad motives and improper conduct. The parties should understand

that this pattern of being unable to agree on even the most basic matters is not helping either side’s 

cause. The Court expects a renewed and robust good-faith commitment to work out agreements

resolvable without its intervention in the vast majority of instances. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
