JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND THE BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON THE MOTION TO STAY THIS ACTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO.: 4:16-CV-01225-JSW 

619823.4 

Plaintiffs Javanni Munguia-Brown, Angelina Magaña, and Norma Rodriguez (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendants Equity Residential, ERP Operating Limited Partnership, Equity Residential Management 

L.L.C., EQR-Woodland Park A Limited Partnership, and ERQ-Woodland Park B Limited Partnership 

(“Defendants”) by and through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate pursuant to Local Rule 6-2 as 

follows: 

WHEREAS, this case was originally filed on September 3, 2014 in California State Court in 

Alameda County (RG14739053) and was removed by Defendants to federal court on March 11, 2016; 

WHEREAS, on April 14, 2016, Defendants filed a Motion to Stay This Action pending the 

outcome of the class certification motion to be filed in June of 2016 in Razuki v. Equity Residential,

Case No. 3:15-CV-01057-BEN-JLB before the Honorable Roger T. Benitez in the Southern District of 

California (filed on May 11, 2015), which involves the same defendants, the same putative class 

members, and largely the same subject matter as this action; 

WHEREAS, on May 19, 2016, a Joint Motion for Dismissal (attached as Exhibit A to the Ryan 

Declaration) was filed by all the parties in Razuki v. Equity Residential (Case No. 3:15-CV-01057-

BEN-JLB);

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ Opposition to the Motion to Stay is due May 27, 2016; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to the following stipulations: 

1. Given the Joint Motion for Dismissal in Razuki v. Equity Residential (Case No. 3:15-

CV-01057-BEN-JLB), the Parties agree to extend the briefing schedule for the 

Opposition to the Motion to Stay and the Reply in Support of the Motion to Stay as the 

Order in Razuki will likely moot Defendants’ Motion to Stay. The June 10, 2016 

hearing on the Motion to Stay will be taken off calendar. 

2. Upon the issuance of the Razuki court’s Order granting the dismissal in Razuki v. Equity 

Residential (Case No. 3:15-CV-01057-BEN-JLB), Defendants in this case have agreed 

to file a Notice to withdraw their Motion to Stay. 

3. If the Razuki court does not grant the Joint Motion for Dismissal in Case No. 3:15-CV01057-BEN-JLB, Plaintiffs will have ten days from the date of the Razuki Order to file

JOINT STIPULATION TO EXTEND THE BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON THE MOTION TO STAY THIS ACTION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER – CASE NO.: 4:16-CV-01225-JSW 

619823.4 

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

Given the Joint Motion for Dismissal in Razuki v. Equity Residential (Case No. 3:15-CV01057-BEN-JLB), the Court orders an extension of the briefing schedule for the Opposition to the 

Motion to Stay and the Reply in Support of the Motion to Stay as the Order in Razuki will likely moot 

Defendants’ Motion to Stay. The June 10, 2016 hearing on the Motion to Stay will be taken off 

calendar. Defendants shall notify the Court upon the issuance of the Razuki Order on the Joint Motion 

to Dismiss. 

Upon the issuance of the Razuki court’s Order granting the dismissal in Razuki v. Equity 

Residential (Case No. 3:15-CV-01057-BEN-JLB), the Defendants will file a Notice to withdraw their 

Motion to Stay.

If the Razuki court does not grant the Joint Motion for Dismissal in Case No. 3:15-CV-01057-

BEN-JLB, Plaintiffs will have ten days from the date of the Razuki Order to file their Opposition to the 

Motion to Stay and Defendants will have seventeen days from the date of the Razuki Order to file their 

Reply in Support of the Motion to Stay. The Parties will jointly request a new hearing date from the 

Court.

PURSUANT TO STIPULATION, IT IS SO ORDERED. 

 

U.S. District Judge Jeffrey S. White 

The June 10, 2016 Case Management Conference is vacated and will be rescheduled by the Court, if

necessary.

Dated: May 26, 2016
