STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

WHEREAS Defendants Biomax Procurement Services, LLC, Center for Medical Progress, 

David Daleiden, Phillip Cronin, Gerardo Lopez, Troy Newman, and Albin Rhomberg (collectively

“CMP Defendants”) moved to extend their deadline to file their anti-SLAPP motion from April 

25, 2016 to May 5, 2016 (“Motion for Extension”) (ECF No. 76), which Plaintiffs did not oppose;

WHEREAS the Motion for Extension requested that Plaintiffs’ deadline to oppose the antiSLAPP motions be extended to June 13, 2016 and that CMP Defendants’ deadline to reply be 

extended to June 28, 2016 (Id.);

WHEREAS the Court granted the Motion for Extension as to CMP Defendants’ deadline 

for their anti-SLAPP motion and as to Plaintiffs’ opposition deadline and ordered CMP 

Defendants to file their reply by June 22, 2016 (ECF No. 82);

WHEREAS Defendant Susan Merritt (“Merritt”) did not join in CMP Defendants’ Motion 

for Extension and instead filed a Motion To Strike Plaintiffs’ State Law Claims Under California’s 

Anti-SLAPP Law (CCP 425.16) (“Merritt Anti-SLAPP Motion”) on April 25, 2016 (ECF No. 78)

along with a Motion to Dismiss Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint For Failure To State A Cause 

of Action (ECF No. 81);

WHEREAS Merritt noticed the Merritt Anti-SLAPP Motion with a deadline of May 25, 

2016 for Plaintiffs’ opposition and a deadline of June 9, 2016 for Merritt’s reply (ECF No. 78); 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs and Merritt have met and conferred and have agreed to extend the 

deadline for Plaintiffs’ opposition to the Merritt Anti-SLAPP Motion from May 25, 2016 to June 

7, 2016 and the deadline for Merritt’s reply from June 9, 2016 until June 22, 2016;

WHEREAS the extension of Plaintiffs’ deadline to oppose the Merritt Anti-SLAPP Motion 

and of Merritt’s deadline to reply does not affect any other deadlines in this case;

WHEREAS good cause exists for this extension so that Plaintiffs and Merritt have 

adequate time to address the arguments presented in the Merritt Anti-SLAPP Motion,

WHEREAS this request is the fourth request to extend time in this case;

WHEREAS the parties previously jointly requested that the Court continue the initial case 

management conference from February 16, 2016 to March 29, 2016, which the Court granted (see

WHEREAS as described above CMP Defendants requested an extension for their deadline 

to file their anti-SLAPP motions;
