14-CV-01224-CRB

Pursuant to Civil Local Rules 6-2 and 7-12, lead plaintiff Vinod Patel (“Lead Plaintiff”) 

and defendants Geron Corporation, John A. Scarlett, and Olivia K. Bloom (collectively 

“Defendants,” and together with Lead Plaintiff, the “Parties”), hereby agree and stipulate to 

extend Defendants’ deadline to file their reply in support of their Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s 

Consolidated Amended Class Action Complaint (“Motion to Dismiss”) and to reschedule the

Court’s current hearing date for the Motion to Dismiss, subject to the Court’s approval.

WHEREAS, on July 21, 2014 the Court approved the parties’ stipulated briefing 

schedule, which called for Defendants’ reply in support of the Motion to Dismiss (“Reply”) to be 

filed on or before February 18, 2015 (Dkt. No. 44);

WHEREAS, due to recent developments, counsel for Defendants will be out of the 

country or out of the state on unavoidable work-related matters through February 16, 2015, and is 

therefore requesting a short, one-week extension to file the Reply; 

WHEREAS, counsel for Defendants met and conferred with Lead Plaintiff’s counsel on 

February 5 and February 9, 2015, and Lead Plaintiff’s counsel has no objection to the short, oneweek extension to file the Reply; 

WHEREAS, the hearing date for the Motion to Dismiss is currently scheduled for March 

6, 2015;

WHEREAS, the Parties have reviewed the Court’s calendar, which now states that the 

Court is no longer available on March 6, 2015; 

WHEREAS, counsel for the Parties are available on April 10, 2015 for the hearing on the 

Motion to Dismiss; 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT HEREBY IS STIPULATED AND AGREED by the Parties 

hereto, through their undersigned counsel, as follows:

1. Defendants shall have until February 25, 2015 to file and serve their Reply. 

2. The hearing date for the Motion to Dismiss, currently scheduled for March 6, 

2015, shall be rescheduled to April 10, 2015, subject to the Court’s approval.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
