Investment Consulting, Inc. (“Aon” and, collectively with the Safeway Defendants, “Defendants”), 

through their counsel, hereby stipulate and agree that: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Safeway Inc. and the Benefits Plans 

Committee Safeway Inc. on July 14, 2016; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on November 18, 2016 (Docket No. 37); 

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on March 31, 2017 (Docket No. 

72); 

WHEREAS, Aon filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint on June 22, 

2017 (Docket No. 83); 

WHEREAS, the Court entered an order granting in part and denying in part Aon’s motion 

on December 11, 2017 (Docket No. 109); 

WHEREAS, the Parties have exchanged initial disclosures, engaged in written discovery, 

and are in the process of scheduling depositions; 

WHEREAS, based on the initial disclosures and the deposition notice Plaintiff served on the 

Safeway Defendants, it is estimated that numerous depositions may be scheduled for mutually 

agreeable dates and times; 

WHEREAS, additional written discovery remains to be completed, especially with respect to 

the large volume of electronic data Defendants have collected; 

WHEREAS, although the Parties have been working diligently and cooperatively in the 

discovery process and in preparing this case for trial, the Parties believe that, given the number of 

Defendants and the scope of discovery, the current schedule does not provide adequate time to 

complete discovery and submit dispositive motions. The Parties therefore respectfully request that
