“Defendants”), by and through their undersigned counsel of record, submit the following stipulation 

and proposed order: 

WHEREAS, on April 3, 2019, the Parties served discovery on Defendants, pursuant to 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rules 33 and 36, respectively (Declaration of Daniel S. Drosman in 

Support of Stipulated Request for Order Changing Time (“Drosman Decl.”), ¶2): 

 Plaintiffs’ First Set of Requests for Admission to Defendants; 

 Plaintiffs’ Second Set of Requests for Admission to Defendants; 

 NEIPF’s Fifth Set of Interrogatories to Defendant Twitter, Inc.; 

 KBC’s Fifth Set of Interrogatories to Defendant Anthony Noto; 

 KBC’s Fifth Set of Interrogatories to Defendant Richard Costolo; 

 KBC’s Fifth Set of Interrogatories to Defendant Twitter, Inc. 

WHEREAS, on April 3, 2019, Defendants served the following discovery on Plaintiffs, 

pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rules 33, 34 and 36 (id.): 

 Defendant Twitter, Inc.’s Second Set of Interrogatories to KBC and NEIPF; 

 Defendant Twitter, Inc.’s Second Set of Interrogatories to NEIPF;

 Defendant Twitter, Inc.’s Third Set of Requests for Production of Documents to NEIPF; 

 Defendant Twitter, Inc.’s First Set of Requests for Admission to KBC; 

 Defendant Twitter, Inc.’s First Set of Requests for Admission to NEIPF. 

WHEREAS, the fact discovery deadline is May 3, 2019 (ECF No. 214); 

WHEREAS, prior to the deadline to serve responses and objections to the April 3, 2019 

discovery, the Parties, through their counsel, met and conferred and agreed to a reciprocal extension 

of 21 days for service of the responses to this discovery, such that those responses would be due on

WHEREAS, the Parties further agree that any disputes regarding the responses to the April 3, 

2019 Discovery must be filed with this Court within 14 days following service of the discovery 

responses (id., ¶5); 

WHEREAS, absent a Stipulation by the Parties, the responses and objections to the above 

April 3, 2019 discovery requests would be due on May 3, 2019, the same day as the fact discovery 

deadline; 

WHEREAS, the Parties are attempting to resolve certain disputes pertaining to the 

aforementioned discovery (collectively, “April 3, 2019 Discovery”) and avoid burdening the Court 

with such issues (id., ¶6); 

WHEREAS, the Parties have taken or defended eight depositions during April 2019 and will 

take or defend an additional four depositions prior to the fact discovery deadline on May 3, 2019 

(id., ¶8); 

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that extending the deadline to respond to discovery served on 

April 3, 2019 to May 24, 2019 (and allowing the parties until June 7, 2019 to meet and confer and 

move to compel if necessary) is necessary and appropriate in light of the volume of discovery served 

in this matter and the numerous depositions that are scheduled before the May 3, 2019 fact discovery 

deadline (id., ¶8); 

WHEREAS, the Parties further agree to extend the deadline for the Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition 

of Defendant Twitter, Inc., which is currently noticed for May 2, 2019, until May 17, 2019, to allow 

the Defendants adequate time to prepare their corporate designee for the deposition in light of the 

Court’s recent order regarding Defendant Twitter, Inc.’s Motion for a Protective Order (ECF No. 

280) (Drosman Decl., ¶7), and to extend the deadline for any motion to compel further testimony in 

the event Twitter’s corporate designee is unprepared to testify to and including May 28, 2019; 

WHEREAS, extending the deadline to respond to all discovery served by any party on any 

other party on April 3, 2019 to May 24, 2019, and extending the deadline to complete Defendant 

Twitter, Inc.’s Rule 30(b)(6) Deposition will not alter the date of any other event or deadline 

currently scheduled in this matter besides the fact discovery deadline previously set by the Court; 

and
