STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER TO CONTINUE DEADLINE FOR FILING MOTION FOR CLASS 

CERTIFICATION 

CASE NO. CV 09 4045 JSW 

1. Per the Court’s June 4, 2010 Order, the deadline for Plaintiff to file a Motion for 

Class Certification is currently September 30, 2010. 

2. On August 3, 2010, Plaintiff filed a letter brief asking the Court to compel 

production of a single category of documents (“the Motion to Compel”). Plaintiff filed the 

Motion to Compel after engaging in a three week long effort to meet and confer to resolve the 

issues raised therein. 

3. On August 5, 2010, the parties received notice from the court that the discovery 

dispute would be referred to a magistrate judge for handling. On August 10, 2010, the parties 

received notice that the matter had been referred to magistrate Judge Edward Chen and the 

matter was scheduled for hearing on September 22, 2010. 

4. Plaintiff contends that the documents sought by her Motion to Compel are 

necessary for Plaintiff to prepare a meaningful and fully informed brief in support of Class 

Certification. Without expressing any position as to the merits of the Motion, in the event it is 

granted, it is doubtful that Plaintiff will receive the responsive documents in sufficient time to 

analyze them and incorporate the information into her Motion for Class Certification, which is 

currently due to be filed on September 30, 2010. 

5. The parties are scheduled to conduct a mediation on October 28, 2010. Due to the 

mediator's schedule, an earlier date could not be secured. An extension of the class certification 

filing deadline to November will avoid an unnecessary motion if the case settles at mediation.
