STIPULATION

Plaintiffs Cornelius Clark, Chester Lewis, John Ponds, and Garrant Cosey (“Plaintiffs”) and 

Defendant Anna’s Linens, Inc. (“Anna’s Linens”) by and through their counsel of record agree that the 

previous deadlines approved by this Court should be revised as set forth below for the following 

reasons: The Parties have agreed to retain an experienced private mediator and have scheduled several 

days of mediation in late January and early February 2007. The extension of the deadlines as 

requested herein would allow the Parties to focus exclusively on preparing for mediation and 

attempting to settle the case and also would conserve resources that would otherwise necessarily be 

spent in completing discovery and preparing to meet all of the deadlines under the current schedule.

The Parties, hereby stipulate and respectfully request that the Court modify, approve, and adopt the 

Class Certification Discovery and Briefing Schedules and Status Conference as follows: 

Non-Expert Discovery Schedule

Complete non-expert interrogatories and document discovery by 5/2/07 

Complete non-expert depositions (e.g., Parties, Fed.R.Civ.P. 

30(b)(6) deponents, witnesses and records custodians) by

5/2/07

Expert Discovery and Reports

Plaintiffs to provide Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2) expert disclosures by 10/31/06 

Plaintiffs’ expert(s) to be made available for deposition by 3/14/07 

Defendants to provide Fed.R.Civ.P. 26(a)(2) expert disclosures by 4/11/07 

Defendants’ expert(s) to be made available for deposition by 4/25/07 

Plaintiffs to serve rebuttal expert reports by 5/9/07 

Defendant to serve supplemental expert reports by 5/23/07 

Expert discovery cut-off 5/23/07
