JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 11-01230 RS

On December 22, 2014, the Court entered a Stipulated Order extending the class

certification schedule to allow additional time for discovery (Dkt. #158). Pursuant to that order,

Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification is currently due on February 26, 2015, Safeway’s

opposition is due on March 19, 2015, Plaintiffs’ reply is due on April 9, 2015, and the hearing is

scheduled for June 11, 2015 at 1:30 p.m.

On January 26, 2015, Safeway filed its Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Summary

Judgment (Dkt. # 165), which challenges Plaintiffs’ standing to bring this suit. Plaintiffs’

opposition is currently due February 9, 2015, Safeway’s reply is due February 17, 2015, and the

hearing is currently scheduled for March 19, 2015 at 1:30 p.m.

The parties propose that Safeway’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Summary Judgment

be resolved prior to Plaintiffs bringing any Motion for Class Certification since the motion raises

the issue of whether Plaintiffs have standing and thus whether this Court has jurisdiction over this

suit. Plaintiffs also requests additional time to respond to Safeway’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion

for Summary Judgment, including to complete depositions already planned and to conduct

discovery targeted at the issues raised in Safeway’s standing arguments, specifically, whether the 6

count packages of Lucerne eggs purchased by one of the named Plaintiffs was exempt from the

2010 egg recall. Accordingly, the parties propose and stipulate to extend the foregoing schedule as

follows:

1. Safeway’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Summary Judgment.

a) Plaintiffs’ opposition due February 23, 2015.

b) Safeway’s reply due March 9, 2015.

c) Hearing set for April 30, 2015 at 1:30 p.m.

2. Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification.

a) Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification, if necessary, to be due twenty days after the

Court issues an order ruling on Safeway’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion for

Summary Judgment.

b) Safeway’s opposition due within 28 days of Plaintiffs’ motion.

c) Plaintiffs’ reply due within 14 days of Safeway’s opposition.

JOINT STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

Case No. 11-01230 RS

d) Hearing set for the first available hearing date following Plaintiffs’ reply or at the

date most convenient to the Court.

The parties further stipulate and agree that until an order is issued on Safeway’s Motion to

Dismiss and Motion for Summary Judgment, discovery shall be limited to and narrowly tailored to

address issues raised by Safeway’s Motion to Dismiss and Motion for Summary Judgment.
