STIPULATION STAYING MUTUAL CLASS DISCOVERY AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

Winston & Strawn LLP 

101 California Street 

San Francisco, CA 94111-5894 

WHEREAS the parties believe that the Ninth Circuit will have decided at least the petition 

within the next 120 days; 

IT IS THEREFORE HEREBY STIPULATED by and among Plaintiffs and Defendant: 

1. All class discovery as to the class members shall be stayed until the Ninth Circuit resolves 

FedEx Kinko’s petition for permission to appeal or the Ninth Circuit resolves FedEx Kinko’s 

appeal, whichever date is later; 

2. Class discovery will commence immediately upon the later of these two dates; 

3. Rather than close on 12/15/06, discovery will close 90 days after the date referenced in 

paragraph 2; 

4. FedEx Kinko’s will have 30 days from the date referenced in paragraph 2 to respond to the 

discovery requests concerning classwide issues that are contained in the discovery served by 

Mr. Whiteway on September 28, 2006; 

5. Mutual discovery will continue as to Mr. Whiteway’s individual claim; 

6. Barring any unforeseen events, the trial date set in the Order for Pretrial Preparation 

(September 7, 2007) shall not change for Mr. Whiteway’s individual claim; 

7. During the stay, agents of FedEx Kinko’s or FedEx Kinko’s counsel may contact the Class 

members in the ordinary course of business but may not communicate with Class members to 

gather information relating to the substance of their claims; 

8. In an effort to conserve the parties’ and the Court’s resources, the parties agree to modify the 

expert disclosure schedule as follows: 

 Plaintiff shall designate experts by 2/15/07 (modified from 12/15/06) 

 Defendant shall designate experts by 3/1/07 (modified from 12/29/06) 

 Expert discovery shall be completed by 4/15/07 (modified from 2/15/07) 

9. At present, the parties believe the other deadlines set forth in the Order for Pretrial 

Preparation can be met.
