Judge: Hon. Phyllis J. Hamilton

27 Scheduling Order for a period of ninety (90) days. The reasons for continuing the

1 The parties have been attempting, and continue to attempt, to cooperatively

2 resolve various issues relating to written and deposition discovery. While negotiations

3 between the parties have been successful in resolving certain issues, there have been

4 other issues where no agreement was able to be reached and which have resulted in the

5 need for discovery motions. Both sides acknowledge that these discovery issues, and

6 their resolution, directly relate to the issues that are anticipated to be raised in AMO's

7 early motion for summary judgment.

8 Among the discovery issues include AMO's recently filed motion for protective

9 order regarding Plaintiffs' proposed depositions of certain high-level executives. (That

10 motion is set for hearing on February 20, 2008). Plaintiffs wil shortly be filing with

11 Magistrate Judge Larson a "joint statement" to resolve a dispute between the parties

12 concerning AMO's objections to plaintiffs' requests for admissions. In addition,

13 Plaintiffs intend to move to compel the production of witnesses in response to their

14 Notice of Deposition Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. Pro. 30(b)(6). The parties are also

15 attempting to schedule mutually convenient dates and times for the depositions of

16 certain AMO employees not subject to the protective order motion and of the two

17 Plaintiffs.

18 The parties believe that providing additional time to achieve resolution of these

19 discovery issues wil streamline the issues to be briefed and wil ultimately save time

20 by ensuring that both parties have sufficient written and deposition discovery available

21 to them to make and oppose both AMO's early motion for summary judgment and, ifit

22 is necessary, plaintiffs' motion for class certification. As such, the parties request the

23 Court to continue for approximately ninety (90) days the various motion hearing dates

24 and deadlines set forth in the Court's November 15,2007 Scheduling Order as follows:

25 1. The hearing date on AMO's early motion for summary judgment re:

26 standing and jurisdictional issues is postponed from March 19, 2008 to June 18, 2008

27 at 9:00 AM. The motion shall be set on a 35 day briefing schedule consistent with the

28 Court's previous scheduling order.

1 2. The hearing date on Plaintiffs' class certification motion is postponed

2 from June 4, 2008 to September 10, 2008 at 9:00 AM. Again, pursuant to the Court's

3 prior scheduling order, the parties shall submit a stipulated briefing schedule to the

4 Court based upon the September 10, 2008 hearing date.

5 3. The last day to amend the pleadings wil remain 30 days prior to the

6 deadline for filing the class certification motion.

7 4. The parties' private mediation shall now be completed between June 19,

8 2008 and August 8, 2008.

9 There have been two prior stipulations to extend time in this matter between the

10 parties. The prior stipulations extended the time for AMO to respond to Plaintiffs'

11 complaint, extended the time for the parties to conduct their initial Case Management

12 Conference with the Court, and extended the time for the Court to hear AMO's

13 previously filed motion to strike.
