STIPULATION

Plaintiff SHEILA GOODEN (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant SUNTRUST MORTGAGE, 

INC., (“Defendant”) by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, pursuant to a prior stipulation and order, Plaintiff’s motion for class 

certification is currently due on April 5, 2013 (“Motion”). See Dkt. No. 48. Defendant’s 

Opposition to the Motion is due on May 10, 2013. Id. Plaintiff’s Reply Brief in support of the 

Motion is due on June 7, 2013. Id. Plaintiff’s Motion is set to be heard by this Court on June 19, 

2013 at 9:30 a.m. 

WHEREAS, on or around March 21, 2013, Plaintiff and Defendant have agreed to attempt 

to resolve the litigation through private mediation. 

WHEREAS on March 27, 2013 Plaintiff filed a motion for leave to amend the complaint 

to expand certain class definitions from California-only to nationwide and to add Michelle Hall as 

a named Plaintiff. That motion is set for hearing on June 5, 2013, a date which was mutually 

agreed upon by Plaintiff and Defendant, in order to accommodate the planned mediation. 

(Defendant intends on opposing this motion for leave to amend.) 

WHEREAS, the motion to amend filed by Plaintiff is currently pending. 

WHEREAS Plaintiff served additional requests for data which Plaintiff believes is 

relevant to the class certification motion on February 25, 2013, and Defendant has agreed in 

principal to produce certain data responsive to that request, but such production has not yet 

occurred. 

WHEREAS the parties are in agreement that further discovery and production of certain 

data in response to Plaintiff’s February 25 request is necessary in order to have a full and 

complete record for Plaintiff’s Motion. 

WHEREAS the parties agree that the schedule for briefing Plaintiff’s Class Certification 

Motion should be extended in order to accommodate the planned mediation, the production of this 

data, and time for discovery if Plaintiff’s request to add a class representative (which Defendant 

opposes) is granted, the parties propose the following schedule;
