STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING CASE SCHEDULING

5063402 

TO THE COURT, ALL PARTIES AND ATTORNEYS OF RECORD: 

Plaintiffs and Defendant Gowalla, Inc. (“Gowalla”) (collectively the “Parties”) hereby 

stipulate to the following partial stay in this case, and respectfully request that the Court issue the 

requested scheduling order. 

The Ninth Circuit is currently considering Defendant Apple Inc.’s Petition for Permission to 

Appeal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P 23(f), filed on July 29, 2016. The issues in that Petition may 

have a material impact on the outcome of a motion for class certification against Gowalla. In the 

interests of judicial economy, the Parties have agreed to postpone the current briefing and hearing 

schedule with respect to Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification against Gowalla, set forth in ECF 

number 789. 

Gowalla and Plaintiffs are presently engaged in bilateral settlement discussions and intend 

to continue those discussions. The Parties have also agreed to engage in joint mediation in an 

attempt to settle this matter, in which Gowalla will participate if bilateral settlement discussions 

have not succeeded. To allow the Parties to focus on the success of settlement discussions, the 

Parties have agreed that all current deadlines in this action should be vacated, and all fact discovery 

stayed. 

In place of those deadlines, the Parties propose that a joint management statement be filed 

within 14 days of the Ninth Circuit’s response to Apple’s Petition proposing a revised schedule that 

allows sufficient time for the Parties to complete their mediation and settlement discussions. The 

Parties further propose that in no event shall Gowalla have less than 30 days from the revised 

scheduling order to oppose Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification and in no event shall the Parties 

have less than three months from the revised scheduling order to complete fact discovery. 

 Respectfully submitted, 

Dated: September 22, 2016 /s/ Michael von Loewenfeldt
