Case No. 13-CV-04303-LHK

ORDER TO FILE SUPPLEMENTAL 

JOINT CASE MANAGEMENT 

STATEMENT

On February 4, 2015, the parties filed a joint case management statement indicating that 

they had “accepted a mediator’s proposal for a class action settlement subject to reaching 

agreement on remaining material terms and execution of a written settlement agreement.” ECF 

No. 74 at 2. The parties indicated further that they “will notify the Court of their progress on 

February 25, 2015 and, if they have reached agreement on all material terms by that date, will file 

a motion for preliminary approval on or before March 24, 2015.” Id. The parties could not reach 

an agreement by February 25, 2015, asking the Court instead to continue “the date for submission 

of the motion for preliminary approval of the settlement.” ECF No. 76 at 2. To accommodate the 

parties’ request, the Court continued the March 4, 2015 case management conference to April 1, 

2015. ECF No. 77.

United States District Court

Northern District of California

On March 25, 2015, the parties informed the Court that “they have now reached an 

agreement in principle and are preparing a motion for preliminary approval.” ECF No. 78 at 2. 

The parties requested a deadline of May 20, 2015, for Plaintiffs to file a motion for preliminary 

approval, id., which the Court approved, ECF No. 79. A hearing on Plaintiffs’ anticipated motion 

for preliminary approval was set for August 27, 2015. ECF No. 79. Based on the parties’

representation that a settlement had been reached, the Court also vacated the class certification 

briefing schedule and July 23, 2015 hearing date on class certification. Id.

On May 19, 2015, the parties asked for a one-week extension for Plaintiffs to file their 

motion for preliminary approval. ECF No. 85. Reluctantly, the Court continued the deadline to 

May 27, 2015. ECF No. 86. The August 27, 2015 hearing date for preliminary approval remained 

as set. Id. Then, on May 27, 2015, the parties asked for yet another extension, asking the Court

this time to continue the deadline for Plaintiffs to file their motion for preliminary approval to 

June 17, 2015—i.e., three additional weeks. ECF No. 87. The Court gave the parties until June 5, 

2015, for Plaintiffs to file their motion. ECF No. 88.

Lastly, on June 5, 2015, the parties asked to extend the deadline for filing Plaintiffs’

motion for preliminary approval to June 10, 2015, citing the need to hold an in-person meeting on 

June 9, 2015, to resolve any outstanding issues. ECF No. 89. In sum, after several months of 

negotiations and despite the Court having granted multiple extension requests, Plaintiffs still have 

not filed their motion for preliminary approval.

As a result, the Court hereby ORDERS the parties to file a supplemental joint case 

management statement by June 9, 2015, at 5:00 p.m. That statement should contain a briefing 

schedule on class certification, as well as a proposed case schedule through trial. The Court 

hereby sets a hearing on class certification for August 27, 2015, at 1:30 p.m., with Plaintiffs’ reply 

brief due no later than August 13, 2015. The fact discovery cutoff of November 20, 2015, remains 

as set. See ECF No. 59.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
