STIPULATION FURTHER EXTENDING TIME BY 21 DAYS FOR CEVA TO RESPOND TO 

PLAINTIFFS’ DISCOVERY REQUESTS; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Hunton & Williams LLP

575 Market Street, Suite 3700

San Francisco, California 94105

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 29(b) and Eastern District of California Local 

Rule 144(a), Plaintiffs Ken Miller, Jeremie Todd, and Christopher Franklin (collectively “Plaintiffs”) 

and Defendant CEVA Logistics U.S., Inc. (“CEVA”) stipulate to a further 21-day extension for 

CEVA to respond to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests as follows:

WHEREAS, on May 23, 2013, Plaintiffs filed a putative wage and hour class action against 

CEVA and co-defendant Adecco USA, Inc. (“Adecco”) in San Joaquin County Superior Court, 

which subsequently was removed to this Court;

WHEREAS, on September 3, 2013, Plaintiffs served CEVA by U.S. mail with (a) Plaintiffs’ 

Interrogatories to CEVA, Set One; (b) Plaintiffs’ Request for Production of Documents to CEVA, 

Set One; (c) Plaintiffs’ Notice of Deposition of Designated Corporate Representative(s) of CEVA 

and Request for Production of Documents; and (d) Plaintiffs’ Request for Admissions to CEVA, Set 

One; 

WHEREAS, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 33(b)(2), 34(b)(2)(A), and 36(a)(3) require 

that CEVA respond, within 30 days of service,1to the Interrogatories, Request for Production of 

Documents, Request for Production of Documents contained in Plaintiffs’ Notice of Deposition of 

Designated Corporate Representative(s), and Request for Admissions described above, unless 

Plaintiffs and CEVA stipulate to a shorter or longer period of time to respond under Federal Rule of 

Civil Procedure 29(b);

WHEREAS, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 29(b) provides that parties may enter into a 

stipulation extending the time for any form of discovery without court approval, so long as it does 

not interfere with the time set for completing discovery, for hearing a motion, or for trial;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and CEVA agreed by written stipulation, signed and filed on 

September 24, 2013 (Dkt. No. 16), to an initial 28-day extension of time, up to and including 

November 4, 2013, for CEVA to respond to Plaintiffs’ discovery requests that, pursuant to Eastern 

District of California Local Rule 144(a), did not require approval of the Court; 

 

1

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(d) provides that CEVA has an additional three days to respond 

to the above-referenced discovery requests, which were served by U.S. mail, thereby making 

CEVA’s original deadline to respond October 7, 2013.

STIPULATION FURTHER EXTENDING TIME BY 21 DAYS FOR CEVA TO RESPOND TO 

PLAINTIFFS’ DISCOVERY REQUESTS; [PROPOSED] ORDER

Hunton & Williams LLP

575 Market Street, Suite 3700

San Francisco, California 94105

WHEREAS, Eastern District of California Local Rule 144(a) requires that further 

stipulations to extend the time to respond to discovery requests after an initial 28-day extension be 

approved by the Court; 

WHEREAS, the information and documents requested by Plaintiffs are being collected by 

CEVA from multiple corporate departments, as well as from general managers and contract 

managers whose operations are conducted from different locations spread across California;

WHEREAS, the documents CEVA is collecting are in various forms, including physical and 

tangible documents such as daily driver log forms and meeting rosters, as well as electronically 

stored information, all of which must be processed and converted to searchable PDF format, in 

accordance with Plaintiffs’ and CEVA’s agreement, before production;

WHEREAS, CEVA has been working diligently to collect the information and documents 

from the numerous sources controlling and holding them, but has determined and notified Plaintiffs 

that completion of the collection and compilation processes in time to prepare comprehensive 

responses by the agreed deadline of November 4, 2013 is impracticable;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and CEVA agree that thorough and complete responses to discovery 

requests are preferable to rushed and incomplete responses that would likely result from strict 

adherence to the November 4 deadline;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and CEVA agree that a further extension of the deadline for CEVA to 

respond to the discovery requests described above will not interfere with (a) the class certification 

discovery cut-off date, the expert witness disclosure deadline, or the rebuttal expert disclosure 

deadline set in the Pretrial Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 15), provided that United States District 

Judge Troy L. Nunley agrees to an extension of the current April 30, 2014 class certification 

discovery cut-off date, May 30, 2014 expert witness disclosure deadline, and June 30, 2014 rebuttal 

expert disclosure deadline set therein2; (b) the December 11, 2014 class certification hearing date set 

 

2

Plaintiffs, CEVA, and Adecco are simultaneously filing a Stipulation and Joint Application to 

Modify the Pretrial Scheduling Order to Continue the Phase I and Expert Discovery Cut-off Dates 

and Proposed Order for Judge Troy L. Nunley’s signature on October 29, 2013.

in the Pretrial Scheduling Order; or (c) any other hearing date or deadline set in the Pretrial 

Scheduling Order;

WHEREAS, there is good cause for the Court to approve a further extension of the deadline

30, 2014 expert witness disclosure deadline, and June 30, 2014 rebuttal expert disclosure deadline 

included in the Pretrial Scheduling Order;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between Plaintiffs and
