Case No.: C-05-3403-CRB

SECOND STIPULATION REGARDING 

MEDIATION AND CASE 

SCHEDULING; AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER 

Complaint Filed: August 22, 2005

Trial Date: Not set

Plaintiff has brought this case as a putative nationwide class action alleging violations of 

the Fair Credit Reporting Act.

On or about August 7, 2006 the parties entered into and the Court approved a 

STIPULATION REGARDING MEDIATION AND CASE SCHEDULING AND [PROPOSED] 

ORDER (The Stipulation). The stipulation reflected the parties’ desire to stay the action for 60 

days and go to mediation before a retired judge at JAMS. 

On October 5, 2006 the parties mediated the case before the Honorable Fern Smith of 

JAMS. The parties made some progress in their discussions, and adjourned to seek additional 

information and guidance on various settlement proposals that were considered on October 5. 

The parties anticipate having ongoing settlement discussions over the next 30 days in an effort to 

resolve the matter. Accordingly, the parties believe a 30 day extension of the stay would be in the

interests of judicial efficiency so that they may focus their efforts on resolution instead of various 

litigation deadlines. The parties, through their respective counsel, therefore stipulate as follows. 

1. This action shall be stayed for thirty additional days. 

2. All current deadlines, including but not limited to discovery deadlines and motion 

filing deadlines shall be deferred by approximately thirty days, as specifically set forth below.

3. A hearing on Defendants’ motion for a protective order, currently set for 

November 17, 2006, shall be reset for December 22, 2006. Plaintiff reserves the right to seek an 

earlier resolution of that motion, following the expiration of the stay, or to seek an additional 

extension of the class certification schedule to permit Court to rule on the matter presented in 

Defendants’ motion for protective order and to complete additional discovery, if any, permitted 

by that Order. Defendant reserves the right to oppose any such relief Plaintiff may seek.

4. Plaintiff’s deadline of November 8, 2006 for filing his class certification motion is 

hereby vacated and reset for December 8, 2006.

5. Defendants’ opposition to plaintiff’s class certification motion shall be due 

January 15, 2007.

6. Plaintiff’s reply papers on the motion for class certification shall be due January 

29, 2007.
