STIPULATED REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER MODIFYING CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE

CASE NO. C 01-2252-CRB

1941801.1

The undersigned counsel, on behalf of Plaintiffs Betty Dukes, Patricia Surgeson, Edith Arana, 

Deborah Gunter, and Christine Kwapnoski (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. (“WalMart,” and collectively, with Plaintiffs, the “Parties”), hereby stipulate as follows:

RECITALS

WHEREAS the parties submitted a joint proposed order regarding case management on May 

2, 2014, which was adopted by the Court on May 6, 2014 (Dkt. No. 1003); 

WHEREAS the parties have propounded substantial supplemental and new discovery since 

that Order was entered and resolved many differences regarding written discovery requests by 

extensive conferences between the parties; 

WHEREAS the parties are in the midst of the depositions of the five plaintiffs and have 

agreed to schedule the depositions of Wal-Mart’s witnesses to avoid conflicting with the busy retail 

holiday season, as needed;

WHEREAS despite the best efforts of both parties to comply with the existing case 

management schedule, the parties will not be able to complete the discovery each has served by 

November 21, 2014 as scheduled; and 

WHEREAS in light of both parties’ diligence since the entry of the Court’s May 6 order, the 

parties do not anticipate the need for substantial new written discovery. The new deadlines will allow 

for an orderly completion of the written discovery both sides have already served, and, if necessary, 

for follow-up discovery the parties could not have previously anticipated despite reasonable efforts to 

complete discovery by the current deadline; and

WHEREAS no prior requests for extension have been made with respect to the merits 

discovery period.

STIPULATION

Accordingly, the parties now jointly stipulate and respectfully request that this Court order the 

following changes to the existing schedule:

Event Current Date Proposed New Date

Date certain for Wal-Mart to provide requested -- December 12, 2015
