JOINT STIPULATION MODIFYING BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR CLASS 

CERTIFICATION 

Gordon & Rees LLP 

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 

San Francisco, CA 94111

The undersigned, counsel of record for Plaintiff, Robin Brewer (“Brewer”), and 

Defendant, Scott Salyer (“Salyer”) (collectively referred to as “the Parties”), respectively, have 

AGREED and STIPULATED to a modification of the briefing schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for 

Class Certification. This modification amends the briefing schedule set forth in the Court’s 

Stipulation and Order Re: Amended Scheduling Order entered on or about November 8, 2007. 

However, this stipulated modification to the briefing schedule on Plaintiff’s Motion for Class 

Certification does not affect the hearing date of February 29, 2008, which was set by the Court 

in its Minute Order of January 11, 2008 (Docket No. 72), as the modified briefing schedule 

conforms in all respect to Civil Local Rule 78-230. 

The modified schedule to which the Parties have stipulated is as follows: 

Filing Due Date

Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification January 7, 2008 (already filed) 

Defendant’s Opposition February 12, 2008 

Plaintiff’s Reply February 21, 2008 

Hearing on Motion (per January 11, 2008 

Order of the Court) 

February 29, 2008 

The grounds and justifications for this stipulated amendment to the briefing schedule on 

Plaintiff’s Motion for Class Certification are as follows: 

1. In the Parties’ Joint Case Management Statement and Order (Docket No. 17), the 

Parties stated as follows: “Plaintiff and Defendant agree, however, that prior to the class 

certification hearing they will make available for deposition any Phase I expert who has 

submitted a declaration in support of or in opposition to a motion for class certification.” 

(Id.; emphasis in original). 

2. On or about January 7, 2008, Plaintiff electronically filed a Motion for Class 

Certification. In support of that Motion Plaintiff filed the Declaration of Dr. George Borjas, who 

had been designated by Plaintiff as an expert witness. (Document 72). 

3. Pursuant to the Parties’ agreement, Defendant Scott Salyer noticed the deposition

of Plaintiff’s expert, Dr. Borjas, to take place on January 14, 2008. However, due to a severe 

snow storm in the Boston area, Plaintiff’s counsel requested, and defense counsel agreed, to 

continue Dr. Borjas’ deposition to a mutually agreeable date on the express conditions that the 

briefing schedule on the pending Motion for Class Certification would be adjusted accordingly, 

and that the deposition would be scheduled at least twelve (12) days prior to the date on which 

Defendant’s opposition to Plaintiff’s motion would be due in order to permit defense counsel 

adequate time to obtain and make use of the transcript of Dr. Borjas’ deposition. 

4. The Parties agreed to reschedule the Borjas deposition for January 28, 2008, two 

weeks after the previously scheduled date for this deposition. 

5. In accordance with the Parties’ agreement, the corresponding two-week extension 

of the briefing schedule would continue the date on which Defendant’s opposition to the class 

certification motion from January 29, 2008 to February 12, 2008 – 17 days prior to the 

February 29, 2008 hearing. This revised schedule thus complies with Civil Local Rule 78-

230(c). Under the Parties’ stipulation, Plaintiff’s reply is to be due on February 21, 2008, five 

(5) court days before the February 29, 2008 hearing. Thus, the Parties’ stipulation to 

Plaintiff’s reply date complies with Civil Local Rule 78-230(d). 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
