WHEREAS, the current fact discovery deadline in this matter is December 9, 2015; 

WHEREAS, the amount of fact discovery exchanged in the litigation has been particularly 

voluminous, both in terms of documents and depositions; 

WHEREAS, Ford and Plaintiffs have been working together cooperatively to complete 

the fact discovery process in this litigation, and Ford and Plaintiffs have resolved nearly all 

discovery issues without need for this Court’s intervention; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have requested additional Rule 30(b)(6) testimony from Ford on 

certain pricing and related issues, and the parties have agreed that Dennis Curlew, Ford’s 

designee, will be produced for deposition on December 15, 2015; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have requested the deposition of Graydon Reitz, who resides in 

Australia, and Ford has agreed to make Mr. Reitz available for deposition on January 21, 2016, 

during his next earliest trip to the United States; 

WHEREAS Ford requires additional time to complete the voluminous privilege review 

and production of its final privilege log (along with any responsive documents ultimately 

determined not to be privileged in the final privilege review); 

WHEREAS, Ford and Plaintiffs require very modest extensions of various existing 

deadlines set in this case to complete the additional discovery listed above and to accommodate 

related expert reports and filings consistent with those dates; 

WHEREAS, none of the various deadline extensions stipulated by Ford and Plaintiffs will 

require any change to the dates set for trial of the matter; 

WHEREAS, Lead Counsel for Ford has a conflict with the date of the next Case 

Management Conference, scheduled for December 17, because a summary judgment argument in 

another court has been scheduled for the same day; 

WHEREAS, Counsel for Ford obtained from the Court’s Scheduling Clerk potential 

alternative dates for a Case Management Conference, subject to Court approval, and has 

discussed those dates with Plaintiffs’ counsel; 

WHEREAS, execution of this Stipulation is not a waiver of any claims or defenses 

Plaintiffs or Ford otherwise may have;

WHEREAS, the parties reserve the right to seek further modification of the above dates 

should the depositions of Messrs. Curlew and Reitz require so; and 

WHEREAS, Local Rule 7-11 permits a party to seek miscellaneous administrative relief 

pursuant to a stipulation by the parties; 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by Plaintiffs and Ford, through their 

counsel of record, subject to the approval of the Court, as follows: 

1. The fact discovery deadline in this matter is extended from December 9, 2015 to 

January 21, 2016 solely for the purpose of allowing Plaintiffs to complete the 

depositions of Ford’s 30(b)(6) designee Dennis Curlew and Graydon Reitz and for 

Ford to complete and produce any outstanding portions of Ford’s privilege log; 

2. The December 9, 2015 fact discovery deadline remains in place for all other fact 

discovery matters; 

3. Plaintiffs’ deadline for producing the disclosure and report of their economic 

expert witness(es) with respect to class certification is moved to January 7, 2016, 

but Plaintiffs’ other class certification expert disclosures (i.e. non-economic expert 

witnesses) and reports remain due on November 28, 2015; 

4. The next Case Management Conference in this matter is continued to January 28, 

2016 from December 17, 2015. The deadline to file an updated joint status report 

is extended to January 21, 2016 from December 10, 2015. 

5. Plaintiffs’ deadline for filing their motion for class certification is extended to 

January 28, 2016 from January 14, 2016; 

6. Ford’s deadline for responding to Plaintiffs’ class certification motion and for 

producing class certification expert disclosures and reports is extended to March 

15, 2016 from March 3, 2016; 

7. Plaintiffs’ deadline to submit a reply brief in support of their motion for class 

certification and their rebuttal expert disclosures and reports is extended to May 2, 

2016 from April 21, 2016; and 

8. The hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is extended to May 19, 

May 26,
