Pursuant to Rule 6-2 of the Civil Local Rules for the Northern District of California 

(“Local Rules”), Plaintiff TSI USA, LLC and Defendant Uber Technologies, Inc., by their 

respective undersigned counsel of record, hereby submit their Joint Stipulation Extending Time to 

Complete Discovery in Light of COVID-19 Travel and Work Restrictions.

1. This Court has previously set deadlines to complete discovery, with the most 

recent order setting a deadline of March 16, 2020 (ECF 112).

2. The parties have been engaged in discovery, with requests for production, 

interrogatories, and a number of depositions completed. The parties have also stipulated to 

remove a number of witnesses from their respective witness lists to narrow the scope of necessary 

discovery. A small number of depositions that were delayed due to travel schedules and by 

agreement were set to be completed the last week of March and early April, with no other 

changes to the currently scheduled dates.

3. Due to travel advisories and work restrictions put in place as a result of the 

COVID-19 virus, including most recently a broad order to “shelter in place” in Bay Area 

counties, where all counsel for defendant reside and one counsel for plaintiff resides, and because 

the remaining deposition witnesses with one exception reside outside of California, it is not 

practicable to complete the remaining discovery before the travel and work restrictions are lifted. 

Counsel have engaged in ongoing meet and confers about the feasibility of further case activity 

under the current circumstances, and agree that temporarily holding such activity in abeyance will 

help protect the health and well-being of the parties, witnesses and counsel. 

4. Because the duration of the current restrictions is presently unknown, the parties 

will meet and confer to discuss the prompt conclusion of outstanding discovery when practicable 

to do so.

5. THEREFORE, the parties, through their undersigned counsel, stipulate as follows, 

and request that the Court enter an Order providing for the following:

a. All currently noticed depositions are off calendar and stayed until further 

stipulation and/or order;

b. Other outstanding fact discovery, as well as the exchange of expert reports, if 

any, are stayed until further stipulation and/or order;

c. No later than 30 days from this stipulation, the parties agree to meet and confer 

in good faith to propose new deadlines for the remaining fact discovery and 

expert reports which are stayed and to discuss whether any future deadlines 

should be continued to a later date. As soon as it is practicable to do so, the 

parties will present to the Court, by stipulation or otherwise, proposals for a 

new deadline to complete the remaining discovery.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
