DECLARATION OF CONNIE K. CHAN IN SUPPORT OF STIPULATION TO MODIFY

BRIEFING AND HEARING SCHEDULE

I, Connie K. Chan, declare as follows:

1. I am a member in good standing of the bar of the State of California and am one of the

counsel of record for Plaintiff in the above-captioned case. I make this declaration in support of the

parties’ stipulated request to extend the briefing and hearing schedule on Defendant’s pending motion to

dismiss pursuant to FRCP 12(b)(7). The facts set forth in this declaration I know to be true of my own

personal knowledge, except as those matters which are alleged on information and belief, and as to those

matters I believe them to be true. I could and would competently testify as to all such matters, if called

upon to do so.

2. Following an initial case management conference held on August 25, 2014, the Court

issued a case scheduling order setting, among other dates, a fact discovery cutoff of February 1, 2016, a

February 22, 2016 deadline to file dispositive motions, and a May 17, 2016 trial date.

3. On February 17, 2015, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation made in light of ongoing

mediation efforts, the Court issued an order extending the deadline for Plaintiff to file a motion for class

certification from March 10, 2015 to August 3, 2015.

4. On July 2, 2015, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court issued an order extending

the briefing deadlines and hearing on Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint Pursuant to

F.R.C.P. 12(b)(7), filed June 22, 2015 (“Rule 12(b)(7) motion”).

5. On July 21, 2015, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court issued an Order (1)

extending the parties’ deadline to mediate to September 15, 2015; (2) extending the deadline for Plaintiff

to file a motion for class certification to November 16, 2015, which was 60 days after the deadline for

mediation; (3) extending the deadline for Plaintiff to file an opposition to Defendant’s pending Rule

12(b)(7) motion to September 29, 2015, which was two weeks after the deadline for mediation; (4)

extending the deadline for Defendant to file a reply in support of its Rule 12(b)(7) motion to October 13,

2015, which was two weeks after Plaintiff’s opposition was due; and (5) setting a hearing on

Defendant’s Rule 12(b)(7) motion for November 9, 2015 at 10:00 a.m.

6. To my knowledge, there have been no other previous time modifications in this case.

7. The parties were previously scheduled for mediation on July 20, 2015. However, on July

10, 2015, Mediator Michael Loeb asked the parties to reschedule the July 20 mediation due to a pressing

personal matter. The parties are currently scheduled for mediation with Mediator Loeb on September

22, 2015.

8. The parties agree that the interests of judicial efficiency and economy of resources will be

best served by continuing the deadline for Plaintiff’s motion for class certification and the deadlines for

briefing and hearing Defendant’s pending motion to dismiss until a reasonable time after the parties’

rescheduled mediation.

I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct to the best of my

knowledge. Executed at San Francisco, California, on September 9, 2015.
