Plaintiffs JUAN OROZCO and JUAN OROZCO-BRISENO (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendant ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC. (“Defendant”), by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, the Court bifurcated the discovery process, limiting Phase 1 discovery 

to those facts that are relevant to whether the action should be certified as a class action. 

Accordingly, the Court initially set the following dates:

• Completion of Phase 1 discovery: January 11, 2016

• Plaintiffs’ deadline to file Class Certification Motion: February 11, 2016

• Defendant’s deadline to file opposition: March 3, 2016

• Plaintiffs’ deadline to file reply: March 17, 2016

• Hearing re: Class Certification Motion: March 24, 2016

WHEREAS, the Parties are awaiting an order by the Magistrate Judge requiring 

Defendant to produce documents and records which Plaintiffs will utilize for purposes of 

the class certification motion;

WHEREAS, the Parties are actively engaged in the exchange of discovery and 

proceeding in stages, pursuant to the Magistrate Judge’s instructions;

WHEREAS, the Parties have conferred and believe that a continuance of the 

briefing schedule for the motion for class certification is warranted to provide a sufficient 

amount of time for Defendant to produce the necessary discovery and for Plaintiffs to 

thereafter analyze the records and information;

WHEREAS, this is the first request for a continuance by either Party;

NOW, THEREFORE the Parties hereby stipulate and agree, and respectfully 

request the Court to order that the Phase 1 discovery cut-off and the dates associated with 

the motion for class certification be continued to the following dates:

• Completion of Phase 1 discovery: April 11, 2016

• Plaintiffs’ deadline to file motion: May 12, 2016

• Defendant’s deadline to file opposition: June 2, 2016

• Plaintiffs’ deadline to file reply: June 16, 2016
