 2. STIPULATION AND ORDER TO MODIFY STATUS 

(PRETRIAL) SCHEDULING ORDER 

STIPULATION

WHEREAS the parties have been engaged in active discovery in this litigation and 

are facing substantial costs and time relative to the outstanding discovery matters; 

WHEREAS, in consideration of the facts and circumstances of the case, including the 

additional discovery that may be expected and what has been disclosed by discovery thus far, the 

parties participated in mediation on August 3, 2011, with David Geronemous, Esq. of JAMS in an 

attempt to resolve the present case; 

WHEREAS the mediation is not yet completed and the parties have a conference call 

scheduled with the mediator on August 29, 2011, to discuss additional mediation efforts; 

WHEREAS the parties have agreed to continue informal discovery in preparation for 

the mediation; 

WHEREAS the pre-certification fact discovery cut-off in this action is currently 

September 9, 2011, and the pre-certification expert discovery cut-off is September 30, 2011, as 

extended by Court’s Order of April 25, 2011; 

WHEREAS, in lieu of just seeking to extend the present discovery schedule so as to 

permit its completion (at significant time and expense), the parties believe it would be pragmatic and 

practical to extend the current scheduling orders; 

WHEREAS the Court’s Order to Extend Pre-Certification Fact and Expert Discovery 

Cut-Offs and Briefing Schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification of April 25, 2011, sets 

the briefing and hearing schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification as follows: Plaintiff’s 

moving papers filed by December 16, 2011, Defendant’s opposition filed by December 30, 2011, 

Plaintiff’s reply filed by January 6, 2012, and the hearing on the motion heard on January 13, 2012, 

at 10:00 a.m.; and 

WHEREAS, successful mediation of the matter would obviate the burden and 

expense of additional formal discovery and motion practice: 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED that the Court’s 

Status (Pretrial Scheduling) Order, filed September 17, 2010, as modified by Court’s orders on 

November 4, 2010, December 9, 2010, February 18, 2011, March 23, 2011, and April 25, 2011, be
