Stipulation for Order Continuing Hearing Date and Setting Briefing Schedule; Proposed Order _(C09-03798 SBA) 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification currently is set for hearing on March 

16, 2010, with Defendants’ opposition due on February 23, 2010, and Plaintiffs’ reply due on 

March 2, 2010; and 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ Motion for Preliminary Injunction currently is set for hearing on 

February 23, 2010, the same date that Defendants’ opposition to the Motion for Class 

Certification is due; and 

WHEREAS the Court’s ruling on the motion for preliminary injunction will impact the 

motion for class certification, the parties’ analysis of whether the requirements for class 

certification under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 23 have been met, and whether any subclass is 

necessary in the event a class is certified; and 

WHEREAS, the parties have agreed to a new briefing schedule and hearing date that will 

permit the parties and the Court to address the issue of class certification after the Court has ruled 

on the preliminary injunction motion, which will further the interests of efficiency and judicial 

economy; and 

WHEREAS the only prior continuance of deadlines in this case was the one-day 

continuance of the hearing on Plaintiffs’ first motion for preliminary injunction pursuant to court 

order, and the requested continuance of the hearing on the motion for class certification by 

approximately one month-and-a-half will not impact the schedule or trial of this case. 

THE PARTIES HEREBY STIPULATE to request that the Court enter the following 

briefing schedule and hearing date: 

 1) Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification shall be 

filed on or before March 23, 2010; 

 2) Plaintiffs’ reply shall be filed on or before April 13, 2010; 

 3) The Court will hear the motion on April 27, 2010.
