UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARIA BOLLINGER, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

STARBUCKS CORPORATION,

Defendant.

Case No. 1:24-cv-00303-JLT-SAB

ORDER VACATING NOVEMBER 6, 2024 

HEARING

ORDER ALLOWING PLAINTIFFS UNTIL 

DECEMBER 13, 2024 TO SEEK LEAVE TO 

FILE A SECOND AMENDED COMPLAINT 

(ECF No. 37) 

On November 4, 2024, the parties filed a joint motion to cancel the November 6, 2024 

hearing regarding Defendant’s motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ first amended complaint due to 

Plaintiffs’ intention to seek leave to file a second amended complaint. (ECF No. 37.) Plaintiffs 

represent that they intend to file a motion for leave to amend the first amended complaint by 

December 13, 2024 in light of Defendant’s recent change to its pricing policy for non-dairy milk 

beverage customization, which is the subject of this action. Plaintiffs proffer the extended 

December 13, 2024 deadline is in part due to Plaintiffs’ counsel’s scheduled medical procedure. 

Defendant takes no position on the propriety of further amendment because it has not yet seen the 

proposed second amended complaint. However, Defendant anticipates filing a motion to dismiss 

any forthcoming amended complaint and requests that the Court allow Defendants forty-five days 

from the date the Court grants leave to file the second amended complaint.

The Court finds good cause to vacate the November 6, 2024 hearing and allow Plaintiffs 

until December 13, 2024 to file any motion for leave to file a second amended complaint. Should 

Plaintiffs fail to file a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint, the Court shall take 

the current motion to dismiss (ECF No. 23) under submission and issue its findings and 

recommendations. While the Court appreciates Defendant’s current inability to take a position 

regarding amendment given no proposed amended complaint has been offered, the Court shall 

deny without prejudice Defendant’s request for a forty-five day deadline within which to file a 

response to any second amended complaint. Because no motion for leave to amend has been 

filed, nonetheless granted, the Court finds setting deadlines for a response at this time is 

premature. Defendant may file a request for an extension of time to file a response should a 

motion for leave to file a second amended complaint be granted. 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

1. The November 6, 2024 hearing regarding Defendants’ motion to dismiss 

Plaintiffs’ first amended complaint is VACATED;

2. Plaintiffs shall file a motion for leave to file a second amended complaint no later 

than December 13, 2024. If no stipulation or motion is received by December 13, 

2024, the Court shall deem Defendant’s motion to dismiss Plaintiffs’ first amended 

complaint submitted and issue findings and recommendations; and

3. Defendant’s request for a forty-five day extension of time to file its response to 

any forthcoming second amended complaint is DENIED without prejudice.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 4, 2024
