have engaged in discovery related motion practice regarding their respective prosecution and 

defense of this litigation; 

WHEREAS, the Court, by stipulation of the parties, continued the deadline for Plaintiffs 

to file their class certification motion to November 10, 2014, so that the parties could explore

the completion of a private mediation session on September 26, 2014, for a period of

Court to order that the briefing schedule for the motion for class certification be continued, as 

follows:

Certification shall be on April 22, 2015 at 9:30 a.m.
