Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 7-12, Plaintiffs Dana Rhinerson and Aidin Moradi (“Plaintiffs”) 

and Defendant Van’s International Foods (“Defendant”) (collectively, “the Parties”), by and through 

their counsel of record, hereby stipulate and agree as follows:

WHEREAS, the Court has previously ordered the following dates and pretrial deadlines:

February 6, 2015 Discovery Cut-Off

February 19, 2015 Deadline for Plaintiffs to file their Motion 

for Class Certification

March 26, 2015, 10:00 a.m. Hearing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class 

Certification

WHEREAS, the Parties have exchanged and responded to initial rounds of written discovery

and continue to meet and confer in order to informally resolve any discovery disputes.

WHEREAS, the Parties began the task of electronic discovery on October 14, 2014, and are 

currently working to finalize an electronic discovery protocol. Defendant has retained an electronic 

discovery provider, Advanced Discovery, and the Parties expect that electronic discovery will 

commence in earnest within the next sixty days.

WHEREAS, since the inception of this case, Defendant has undergone two separate change 

of control transactions which have resulted in significant changes in management and have 

unintentionally contributed to delays in the discovery process. 

WHEREAS, in addition to making strides toward completing discovery, the parties have 

also focused on scheduling a mediation. The Parties have selected Bruce A. Friedman as a mediator 

and are currently attempting to schedule a mediation date prior to March 25, 2015. 

WHEREAS, although the Parties have been diligently working to complete discovery, the 

parties need additional time to complete discovery prior to the filing of Plaintiff’s Motion for Class 

Certification and thus agree that a continuance of the pretrial deadlines of five months is necessary to 

complete discovery.

WHEREAS, the Parties further agree that this stipulation will not alter or affect any other 

dates and pretrial deadlines set by the Court other than those set forth supra. Moreover, the parties 

agree that this stipulation does not act to re-open or affect any previously-expired deadline.
