The undersigned counsel, on behalf of Betty Dukes, Patricia Surgeson, Edith Arana,

(“Wal-Mart”), hereby stipulate and agree as follows: 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs filed a Fourth Amended Complaint in the above-captioned case

Case 3:01-cv-02252-CRB Document 780 Filed 01/03/12 Page 1 of 3 Case3:01-cv-02252-CRB Document779 Filed12/23/11 Page1 of 3

STIPULATION OF REVISED BRIEFING SCHEDULE FOR DEFENDANT WAL-MART

STORES, INC. TO RESPOND TO FOURTH AMENDED COMPLAINT AND [PROPOSED]

ORDER, CASE NO. 01-CV-2252-CRB

- 2 - 

L.R. 6-1(a), to extend the time within which Wal-Mart must answer or otherwise respond to 

Plaintiffs’ Fourth Amended Complaint and that a corresponding amount of additional time should 

be provided to Plaintiffs to address any motion by Wal-Mart regarding Plaintiffs’ Fourth 

Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Wal-Mart further agree that to avoid potentially redundant 

motion practice, briefing, or responsive pleadings, any motion challenging the Fourth Amended 

Complaint should be resolved by the Court prior to the filing of an Answer by Wal-Mart; 

WHEREAS, this Court previously extended the dates for filing of a motion to dismiss the 

Fourth Amended Complaint by stipulation and order, Docket No. 769; 

WHEREAS, since that time, due to the press of the holidays on Wal-Mart’s retail business 

and related commitments for the legal business, Wal-Mart has asked Plaintiffs to modify the 

briefing schedule, and they have consented, subject to this Court’s approval, see Declaration of 

Rachel S. Brass in Support of Stipulation of Revised Briefing Schedule for Defendant Wal-Mart 

Stores, Inc. to Respond to Fourth Amended Complaint; 

WHEREAS, the stipulated changes to the briefing schedule, described below, do not alter 

the date by which any reply brief by Wal-Mart shall be filed, such that all briefing shall be 

completed by the same date as was previously ordered by the Court, see Docket No. 769; 

THEREFORE, Plaintiffs and Wal-Mart stipulate and agree as follows: 

1. The deadline by which Wal-Mart must answer or otherwise respond to Plaintiffs’ 

Fourth Amended Complaint is extended to January 13, 2012; 

2. Should Wal-Mart move against the Fourth Amended Complaint within the time 

period specified in paragraph 4, an opposition to any such motion shall be filed no later than 

March 23, 2012; 

3. The date for the filing of a reply, if one is to be filed, shall remain unchanged as 

April 13, 2012;
