STIPULATION

Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-2, Plaintiff Bernadine Griffith (“Plaintiff”) and Defendants 

Government Employees Insurance Company and GEICO General Insurance Company 

(“Defendants”), through their respective counsel, stipulate and agree as follows:

1. Plaintiff commenced this action in the Superior Court of the State of California for 

the County of San Francisco on November 24, 2015. Defendants were served with the summons 

and Plaintiff's Class Action Complaint for Damages ("Complaint") on December 11, 2015.

2. Pursuant to 28 U.S.C. sections 1332, 1441, 1446 and 1453, Defendants removed 

the action to this Court on January 8, 2016. (ECF Docket No.1.) Thereafter, on January 11, 2016, 

Plaintiff and Defendants stipulated and agreed to extend the time for Defendants to respond to 

Plaintiff’s Complaint from January 15, 2016 to January 29, 2016. (ECF Docket No. 7.)

3. On January 29, 2016, Defendants filed their Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s 

Complaint (“Motion”) that is noticed for hearing on March 25, 2016 at 10:00 a.m. (ECF Docket 

No. 13.) To accommodate counsels' respective schedules, prior to filing the Motion, Plaintiff and 

Defendants met and conferred and agreed on the March 25, 2016 hearing date. 

4. Subject to the Court’s approval, Plaintiff and Defendants also met and conferred 

and agreed to a modification of the briefing schedule set forth in Civil L.R. 7-3 for opposition and 

reply memoranda on the Motion such that Plaintiff’s Opposition Memorandum and Defendants'

a. Plaintiff's Opposition Memorandum to be filed on Friday, February 26, 

2016 (instead of February 12, 2016 as provided in Civil L.R. 7-3); and 

b. Defendants’ Reply Memorandum to be filed on Friday, March 11, 2016 

(instead of February 19, 2016 as provided in Civil L.R. 7-3).
