 The Parties have served each other with written discovery and noticed depositions in 

order to prepare for the currently scheduled class certification motion. The Parties 

participated in a mediation before the Hon. Edward Infante (Ret.) on November 15, 2006. At 

that mediation, the parties agreed to a settlement in principle, and are in the process of 

reducing that agreement to text. After consideration and discussion, the Parties have agreed 

that it would be in their interests to focus their attention and efforts on finalizing this 

agreement instead of proceeding with the scheduled discovery, briefing and hearing dates. 

 Accordingly, it is hereby stipulated by the Parties, through their respective counsel, as 

follows: 

1. The previously noticed depositions shall, if necessary, be renoticed for 

mutually acceptable dates after January 30, 2007. 

2. The deadline for plaintiffs to respond to defendants’ requests for production of 

documents and interrogatories shall be continued from December 29, 2006 to February 15, 

2007. 

3. The deadline for defendants to produce documents in response to plaintiffs’ 

requests for production of documents shall be continued to February 5, 2007. 

4. The deadline for plaintiffs to file their motion for class certification shall be 

continued to March 2, 2007. 

5. The deadline to add additional parties shall be continued from January 12, 2007 

to March 2, 2007. 

6. The deadline for defendants to file their opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for 

class certification shall be continued to March 23, 2007. 

7. The deadline for plaintiffs to file their reply in support of plaintiff’s motion for 

class certification shall be continued to March 30, 2007. 

8. The hearing on plaintiffs’ motion for class certification shall be continued from 

February 23, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. to April 13, 2007 at 10:00 a.m. 

9. The Case Management Conference in this matter shall be rescheduled from 

April 27, 2007 at 1:30 p.m. to June 8, 2007 at 1:30 p.m.
