& O’REARDON, LLP 

Pursuant to Local Rule 6-1 and 6-2, Plaintiff Kathie Sonner (“Plaintiff”), and 

Defendant Premier Nutrition Corporation (“Defendant”), through their respective counsel of 

record (collectively, “the Parties”), hereby stipulate and agree, subject to the Court’s approval, 

as follows: 

 The Parties previously informed the Court that they agreed to renew settlement 

discussions with the Hon. Carl J. West (Ret.) at JAMS. (See Dkt. 71.) The Parties participated 

in mediation on April 9, 2015, but were not able to settle this action at this time. As a result, 

the next step is to complete expert discovery and then brief motions for summary judgment 

and class certification. The Parties have met and conferred, started to exchange potential dates 

for depositions of the six experts at issue, and have agreed on the proposed pretrial deadlines 

set forth below. This request is made in good faith because the availability of experts for 

deposition does not make it possible to meet the current June 9, 2015, expert discovery 

deadline, and the August 7, 2015, deadline to file opening memoranda in support of motions 

for summary judgment and class certification. (See Dkt. 72 (Order Extending Deadlines).) 

If this request is granted it will be the fifth extension of case deadlines granted by the 

Court. The first extension was in connection with a stay of the case for an early mediation that 

proved unsuccessful, the second extension was requested because the parties were unable to 

schedule key party depositions prior to discovery deadlines, the third extension was in 

connection with Plaintiff’s request to substitute the named plaintiff, and the fourth extension 

was in connection with the most recent mediation effort, which followed the parties’ exchange 

of expert reports. If this extension is granted it will not affect any trial dates as no date has 

been set for trial. 

Further, the Court has currently scheduled a case management conference for April 23, 

2015. at 10:00 a.m. (See Dkt. 72.) The Parties have met and conferred and do not believe there 

is an urgent need for a CMC at this time. The Parties are working cooperatively to schedule 

expert depositions and have agreed on a proposed schedule to brief class certification and 

summary judgment. Accordingly, if the Court desires, the CMC set for April 23, 2015, may 

be taken off calendar.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the Parties, 

through their respective counsel and subject to the Court’s approval, that:

1) the deadline for the Parties to complete expert discovery is extended to July 31, 

2015; 

2) the deadline for the Parties to file opening memoranda in support of motions for 

summary judgment and class certification is extended to October 2, 2015; 

3) the deadline for the Parties to file memoranda in opposition to motions for 

summary judgment and class certification is November 6, 2015; 

4) the deadline for the Parties to file reply memoranda in support of motions for 

summary judgment and class certification is December 11, 2015; 

5) hearing on the motions for summary judgment and class certification will take 

place on ___________________, at __________; and 

6) the case management conference scheduled for April 23, 2015, at 10:00 a.m. is 

taken off calendar. 

 IT IS SO STIPULATED, THROUGH COUNSEL OF RECORD.
