RESPONSIVE PLEADING TO COMPLAINT AND TO

-1- CASE NO. 3:16-CV-03649-JST 

DECLARATION OF MARSHALL L. BAKER 

I, Marshall L. Baker, declare as follows:

1. I am a member of the Bar of the State of California, admitted to practice before 

this Court, and an associate in the firm of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP, attorneys of record for 

Defendant Comcast Corporation (“Defendant”) in the above-entitled action. Pursuant to Civil 

L.R. 6-2, I make this Declaration in support of Defendant’s and Plaintiffs Melinda Brown, 

Gregorie Green, Anette Avila, Mitchell Brewer, Toni Benedict, Richard Perdue, Samuel 

Baltierra, and Julie Everts’ (“Plaintiffs”) (collectively, the “Parties”) stipulation for a brief 

extension of (1) Defendant’s deadline to respond to the Complaint; (2) a brief continuance of the 

deadline to file a Case Management Statement (“CMS”) currently due on October 17, 2016; and 

(3) a brief continuance of the Case Management Conference (“CMC”) currently scheduled for 

October 26, 2016. If called, I would testify to the matters set forth herein. 

2. In light of the Defendant’s continued investigation into the factual and legal issues 

raised in the Complaint, and in anticipation of Defendant filing a motion to compel arbitration, 

the Parties met and conferred regarding the deadline extensions and a continuance of the CMC. 

3. The Parties agreed that a brief fourteen (14) day extension of the Defendant’s time 

to respond to the Complaint was appropriate. 

4. The Parties further agreed, due to the extension of Defendant’s time to respond to 

the Complaint, that a continuance of the deadline to file the CMS and a continuance of the CMC 

until after this Court has heard Defendant’s motion to compel was appropriate. 

5. The Parties request this continuance because it may provide sufficient time for the 

Defendant to fully investigate the allegations in the Complaint and to respond accordingly, and it 

will avoid burdening the Court prior to the Court hearing the Defendant’s motion to compel 

arbitration. The continuance will not impact any other deadlines already set by the Court or 

otherwise have any effect on the schedule of the case. 

6. To date, the other time modifications in this case are as follows: on July 29, 2016 

the Parties agreed to extend the Defendant’s responsive pleading deadline to September 8, 2016 

and on September 6, 2016 the Parties agreed to extend the Defendant’s responsive pleading
