3. The Court has ordered Plaintiffs to file their optional reply no later than June 25, 2013 (Dkt.

10:00AM, (Dkt. 887); and 

5. Wal-Mart’s lead counsel Theodore J. Boutrous, Jr. is unable to appear on July 9, 2013 due to 

a scheduling conflict requiring him to be outside the country for business reasons and 

Plaintiffs’ lead counsel Joseph M. Sellers is unable to appear on July 1–3, 2013 due to a

In light of the foregoing, the Parties stipulate and agree to the holding of the hearing on class
