JOINT STIPULATION AND PROPOSED ORDER TO AMEND SCHEDULING ORDER 

CASE NO. 14-CV-05332

Plaintiff Liza Gershman (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Bayer HealthCare, LLC (“Defendant”) 

(collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their undersigned counsel, stipulate as follows:

WHEREAS, the Court entered a Scheduling Order on June 5, 2015 (Doc. 61), setting 

certain deadlines in the case, including deadlines for the class certification submissions and a class 

certification hearing;

WHEREAS, the discovery process in this case has been ongoing but at a slower pace than

initially expected, in part as a result of the time necessary to undertake and complete the electronic 

document review;

WHEREAS, the Parties believe that additional time (approximately three months) is 

necessary to complete Defendant’s document production, to allow Plaintiffs to review the 

production in its entirety, and for both Parties to prepare for and take depositions of witnesses 

(including the plaintiffs) for purposes of supporting and opposing class certification;

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that because additional time is needed for purposes of 

addressing class certification, adjustments are needed to the deadlines set forth in the Court’s June 

5, 2015 Scheduling Order;

WHEREAS, the Parties met and conferred, and have agreed to a 90-day extension 

regarding class certification and related deadlines. 

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by the Parties, by and through their counsel, subject 

to the Court’s approval, that the Scheduling Order dated June 5, 2015 be amended as follows:

Event Date

Deadline to File Motion for Class Certification March 9, 2016

Deadline to File Opposition to Motion for Class 

Certification

May 11, 2016

Deadline to File Reply in Support of Motion for
