Plaintiffs JUAN OROZCO and JUAN OROZCO-BRISENO (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendant ILLINOIS TOOL WORKS INC. (“Defendant”), by and through their 

respective counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: 

WHEREAS, the Court has bifurcated the discovery process in this matter, limiting 

Phase 1 discovery to those facts that are relevant to whether the action should be certified 

as a class action;

WHEREAS, the Court previously set the following deadlines with respect to 

Phase 1 discovery and Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification:

• Completion of Phase 1 discovery: April 11, 2016

• Plaintiffs’ deadline to file Class Certification Motion: May 12, , 2016

• Defendant’s deadline to file opposition: June 2, 2016

• Plaintiff’s deadline to file reply: June 16, 2016

• Hearing re: Class Certification Motion: June 23, 2016

WHEREAS, in partial resolution of a discovery dispute between the Parties, 

Magistrate Judge Brennan ordered Defendant to produce Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses who 

can testify regarding “issues of rest and meal breaks, as well as premium pay” with 

respect to all business units operated by Defendant in California during the putative class 

period [Doc. No. 38];

WHEREAS, on February 5, 2016, this Court issued an Order denying Defendant’s 

Request for Partial Reconsideration of the Magistrate Judge’s Order [Doc. No. 42];

WHEREAS, Defendant has compiled and provided Plaintiffs a list of thirty-one 

(31) individuals who will serve as 30(b)(6) designees with regard to one or more of the 

34 business units now maintained by Defendant in California, and the Parties are 

currently in the process of scheduling these depositions; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have conferred and believe that a continuance of the 

briefing schedule for the motion for class certification is warranted to provide a sufficient 

amount of time for Defendant to produce its 30(b)(6) designees for deposition;

WHEREAS, Defendant has agreed to produce all 30(b)(6) designees for deposition 

by June 30, 2016;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs believe they will require approximately sixty (60) days after 

the conclusion of the final 30(b)(6) deposition to review and analyze the deposition 

transcripts and file their motion for class certification; and

WHEREAS, this is the second request for a continuance by either Party;

WHEREAS, good cause for the continuance exists as the Court recently issued an 

order regarding Defendant’s Request for Partial Reconsideration and since the issuance 

of the Court’s order, the Parties have been working diligently to perform and complete 

discovery as outlined by Magistrate Judge Brennan’s Order.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties hereby stipulate and agree, and respectfully 

request the Court to order that the Phase 1 discovery cut-off and the dates associated with 

the motion for class certification be continued to the following dates:

• Completion of Phase 1 discovery: June 30, 2016

• Plaintiffs’ deadline to file motion: September 2, 2016

• Defendant’s deadline to file opposition: September 23, 2016

• Plaintiff’s deadline to file reply: October 7, 2016

• Hearing re: Class Certification Motion: October 19, 2016

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
