SCHEDULING ORDER; ORDER 

STIPULATION

WHEREAS the parties have been engaged in active discovery in this litigation and 

are facing substantial costs and time relative to the outstanding discovery matters; 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the 

additional discovery that may be expected and what has been disclosed by discovery thus far, the 

parties have agreed to mediate in an attempt to resolve the present case; 

WHEREAS the parties have agreed to continue informal discovery in preparation for 

the mediation; 

WHEREAS the pre-certification fact discovery cut-off in this action is currently April 

22, 2011, and the pre-certification expert discovery cut-off is May 18, 2011, as extended by Court’s 

Order of March 23, 2011; 

WHEREAS, in lieu of just seeking to extend the present discovery schedule so as to 

permit its completion (at significant time and expense), the parties believe it would be pragmatic and 

practical to extend the current scheduling orders; 

WHEREAS the parties have inquired and discovered that what they agree are 

experienced and appropriate mediators are not available immediately but are available over the 

summer months; 

WHEREAS the Court’s Order to Extend Pre-Certification Fact and Expert Discovery 

Cut-Offs and Briefing Schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification of March 23, 2011, sets 

the briefing and hearing schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification as follows: Plaintiff’s 

moving papers filed by August 5, 2011, Defendant’s opposition filed by August 19, 2011, Plaintiff’s 

reply filed by August 26, 2011, and the hearing on the motion heard on September 2, 2011, at 10:00 

a.m.; and 

WHEREAS, successful mediation of the matter would obviate the burden and 

expense of additional formal discovery and motion practice: 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Court’s 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, filed September 17, 2010, as modified by Court’s orders on
