Corporation and Dollar Thrifty Automotive Group (“Hertz” or “Defendants”) (Plaintiffs and 

Defendants are collectively referred to as “Parties”), hereby stipulate to, and request that the 

Court enter an order further adjusting the class certification discovery and briefing schedule and 

the following interim benchmarks, as set forth below: 

1. WHEREAS, on May 29, 2019, the Court entered a Case Management Scheduling

Order, setting a class certification discovery and briefing schedule; 

2. WHEREAS, on October 17, 2019, the Court ordered a Stipulation setting forth an

updated class certification discovery and briefing schedule; 

3. WHEREAS, on March 3, 2020, the Court entered the Joint Stipulation and Order

Further Adjusting Class and Certification Discovery and Briefing Schedule [As Modified by the 

Court]; 

4. WHEREAS, the Court scheduled a Case Management Conference for May 28,

2020; 

5. WHEREAS, the Parties have worked diligently to comply with the deadlines set

by the Court, including production of the CareerBuilder data and ongoing progress on ESI 

discussions. However, since the Court’s Order on March 3, 2020, Defendants have been required 

to shift focus to address unanticipated, urgent issues related to the COVID-19 pandemic, 

including major disruptions to Defendants’ business. In light of the ongoing crisis, Defendants 

requested and Plaintiffs agreed to seek a further extension of deadlines set by the Court, as well as 

a continuance of the upcoming Case Management Conference. At this time, the Parties anticipate 

that a 90-day extension of all deadlines will be sufficient to alleviate the disruption caused by the 

COVID-19 pandemic. 

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate to and respectfully request that the 

Court order the following modifications to the class certification discovery and briefing schedule 

and the remaining interim benchmarks: 

Item Current Deadline Deadline 

Case Management Conference (to be 

canceled should the Parties have no 

disputes)
