1 Joint Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to

Continue Further Case Management Conference

Case No. 14-cv-05563-EMC

STIPULATION

WHEREAS, the Court’s November 24, 2015 Clerk’s Notice (ECF No. 115) set the 

Further Case Management Conference (“CMC”) for January 28, 2016; 

WHEREAS, per the Parties’ request, on January 21, 2016, the Court continued the CMC 

to February 11, 2016 (ECF No. 119);

WHERES, per the Parties’ request, on February 5, 2016, the Court continued the CMC to 

March 10, 2016 (ECF No. 121);

WHEREAS, the Parties have continued to meet and confer regarding the litigation 

generally and the timing of the CMC specifically; 

WHEREAS, the Parties still do not currently have ripe issues for discussion but expect 

that an additional continuance of the CMC to March 24, 2016, will allow for a more meaningful 

discussion; 

WHEREAS, this is the Parties’ third request to postpone the CMC; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ motion for Rule 23 class certification is currently due by April 7, 

2016;

WHEREAS, the Parties’ agreements regarding discovery priorities and discovery 

deadlines make it impracticable for briefing on the class certification motion to be conducted in 

April;

WHEREAS, the Parties further request that the Court vacate all currently-calendared 

dates, allow the Parties to propose new dates in the next CMC Statement, and reset those dates at 

the next CMC; and 

WHEREAS, the requested continuance of the CMC will not otherwise affect the schedule 

for the case.

ACCORDINGLY, THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE AND AGREE to continue the 

CMC currently scheduled for Thursday, March 10, 2016 to Thursday, March 24, 2016. The 

Parties further agree that all currently-calendared dates be vacated. The Parties will submit an 

updated Case Management Statement seven days before the rescheduled CMC date.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
