STIPULATION

WHEREAS, on June 23, 2010, the Court entered the following schedule (Dkt. 50); 

Class Certification Briefing: 

Plaintiff’s motion for class certification: August 2, 2010 

Defendant’s response to motion for class certification: September 16, 2010 

Plaintiff’s reply in support of motion for class 

certification: October 14, 2010 

Discovery: 

Fact discovery cut-off: October 12, 2010 

Plaintiff’s expert reports due: October 19, 2010 

Depositions of plaintiff’s experts: November 2, 2010 

Defendant’s expert reports due: November 16, 2010 

Depositions of defendant’s experts: December 3, 2010 

Summary Judgment Briefing: 

Motions for summary judgment: November 19, 2010 

Responses to motions for summary judgment: December 20, 2010 

Replies in support of motions for summary judgment: January 19, 2011 

Last Day to Hear Dispositive Motions: February 4, 2011, at 9:00 a.m. 

Trial: 

Pretrial Conference: March 10, 2011 at 2:00 p.m. 

Jury Trial: April 4, 2011 at 1:30 p.m. 

WHEREAS, though the Parties have been working diligently to complete discovery, they 

realize that they need additional time to complete class and full merits discovery. The Parties are in 

the process of completing document discovery, but deposition discovery has not yet commenced. 

The Parties agree that an extension is appropriate to allow the deposition of Plaintiff and the Rule 

30(b)(6) deposition of Defendant to occur prior to the filing dates of their respective class 

certification briefs; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have been negotiating in good faith to enter a stipulation for 

coordinated discovery in a related putative nationwide class action, Petlack v. S.C. Johnson & Son, 

Inc., Case No. 08-cv-00820 (E.D. Wisc.) and believe that an extension is necessary to achieve the 

necessary coordination between the two cases. The allegations in Petlack are substantially similar 

to those in this case, and lead counsel for both parties are the same. Proceedings have advanced

much more rapidly in the above-captioned action than in Petlack. The Parties recognize that it will 

be mutually beneficial to coordinate discovery in the two cases in order to conserve judicial 

resources and avoid duplication, delay, waste, and unnecessary litigation expense. The anticipated 

stipulation for coordinated discovery in Petlack will import all discovery taken in this case to 

Petlack, and therefore, provides that no additional discovery will be taken other than on class issues, 

discovery of plaintiff Petlack, and/or any other issues unique to that case. The Parties agree that a 

90-day extension of all dates will allow the Parties sufficient time to complete discovery. Thus, this 

extension will enable the Parties to enter into the stipulation for coordinated discovery in Petlack, 

which, as stated above, will create substantial efficiencies for the Parties and the Courts; 

WHEREAS the parties have already worked together and agreed to a specific sequencing of 

events for the schedule in this case, including the appropriate length and sequence of time periods 

for class certification briefing, expert discovery, summary judgment briefing, and trial, and do not 

wish to alter the durations or sequence of those deadlines; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have, to date, requested a sixty (60) day extension of the discovery 

deadline and trial date, which was granted by the Court on February 2, 2010, and a one hundred and 

twenty (120) day extension of the discovery deadline and trial date, which was granted by the Court 

on June 23, 2010; 

WHEREAS, the Parties estimate that they need an additional ninety (90) days to complete 

discovery and conduct briefing on class certification and summary judgment; 

THE FOLLOWING SCHEDULE, UPON PERMISSION OF THE COURT, IS AGREED 

TO BY THE PARTIES: 

Class Certification Briefing: 

Plaintiff’s motion for class certification: November 1, 2010 

Defendant’s response to motion for class certification: December 15, 2010 

Plaintiff’s reply in support of motion for class 

certification: January 13, 2011
