Defendants Toshiba Corporation, Toshiba America, Inc., Toshiba America 

Information Systems, Inc., Toshiba America Consumer Products, L.L.C., and Toshiba 

America Electronic Components, Inc. (collectively, the “Toshiba Defendants”) and the 

undersigned Direct Action Plaintiffs (the “DAPs”) have conferred by and through their 

counsel and, subject to the Court’s approval, HEREBY STIPULATE AS FOLLOWS: 

WHEREAS, on August 1, 2014, the Toshiba Defendants served the Plaintiffs with the 

Toshiba Entities’ Amended Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures, thereby adding five people, 

including Tomohito Amano, to their Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures as individuals who may 

have information that the Toshiba Defendants may use to support their claims or defenses; 

WHEREAS, on September 2, 2014, the Plaintiffs filed a motion with Special Master 

Walker seeking an order compelling the depositions of Mr. Amano and the four other 

individuals added to the Toshiba Defendants’ Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures on August 1, 

2014; 

WHEREAS, on October 1, 2014, the Toshiba Defendants served the Plaintiffs with the 

Toshiba Entities’ Second Amended Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures, thereby withdrawing 

Mr. Amano from their Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures as an individual who may have 

information that the Toshiba Defendants may use to support their claims or defenses; 

WHEREAS, on November 20, 2014, Special Master Walker issued the Order re 

Plaintiffs’ Motion to Compel Depositions of Toshiba Witnesses (Dkt. No. 3146), in which 

Special Master Walker granted the Plaintiffs’ motion to compel, concluded that the Toshiba 

Defendants “failed to update [their] Rule 26 initial disclosures,” and ordered the Toshiba 

Defendants to amend their Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures regarding Mr. Amano; 

WHEREAS, on November 24, 2014, the Toshiba Defendants filed Objections to the 

Special Master’s November 20, 2014 Recommended Order (“Objections”) (Dkt. No. 3154), in 

which the Toshiba Defendants argued, in part, that they had no obligation to update their Rule 

26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures;

WHEREAS, on November 23, 2015, the Court held a hearing regarding the Toshiba 

Defendants’ Objections and sustained the Objections in part; 

WHEREAS, on November 23, 2015, the Court issued a Minute Entry (Dkt. No. 4208) 

directing the parties to confer regarding proposed language regarding Mr. Amano to include 

in the Toshiba Defendants’ Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures, and directing that, by December 

10, 2015, the Toshiba Defendants either file a proof of service of their amended Rule 26(a)(1) 

Initial Disclosures (if the parties agreed on proposed language regarding Mr. Amano), or for 

the parties to submit competing proposals to the Court (if the parties were unable to agree on 

proposed language); 

WHEREAS, on December 8, 2015, the Court issued the Order Adopting in Part and 

Denying in Part Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 4228), in which the Court inter alia, 

held that the Toshiba Defendants did not breach any discovery obligation and had no 

obligation to update their Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures, and extended the deadline until 

December 17, 2015, for either the Toshiba Defendants to file a proof of service of their 

amended Rule 26(a)(1) Initial Disclosures or for the parties to submit competing proposals; 

WHEREAS, the parties conferred pursuant to the Court’s December 8, 2015 order; 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED among the 

undersigned parties as follows: 

1. The Toshiba Defendants need not further amend their Rule 26(a)(1) Initial 

Disclosures with respect to Tomohito Amano; and therefore 

2. The Toshiba Defendants need not file a proof of service with the Court. 

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED.
