Case No. 13cv1029-BEN (BLM)

ORDER GRANTING SECOND JOINT

MOTION TO MODIFY CASE

MANAGEMENT CONFERENCE

ORDER

[ECF No. 21]

On January 31, 2014, the parties in this case filed a second joint motion to modify the

Case Management Conference Order. ECF No. 21. In support, the parties state that they 1

still are in the process of completing discovery in this case and in related case Kogok v. TMobile, USA, Inc., case no. 13cv838-BEN (BLM), which was remanded to state court. Id. at

3-4. The parties in both cases apparently have “jointly pursued the Court’s directives” and

plaintiffs in both cases “are identifying the ‘systematic’ errors at this time, with the defense

agreeing to produce data in databases relevant thereto.” Id. at 4. While the parties initially

anticipated that this process would take 75-90 days, Plaintiffs suffered a setback because

In their first joint motion, which the Court granted on November 19, 2013, the parties moved to

continue the deadlines related to expert disclosures and class certification because they “desire[d] to focus

their resources and efforts on preparing for mediation,” and also because they needed additional time to

complete discovery. See ECF No. 16.

one of the class representatives “suffered severe medical complications requiring multiple

surgeries and hospitalizations.” Id. Consequently, the parties seek to continue the

deadlines related to expert disclosures and class certification by approximately sixty (60)

days while they “continue to process discovery and work toward mediation.” Id. at 5. 

Having reviewed the parties’ joint motion, and having found good cause, the Court GRANTS

the joint motion. Accordingly, the Case Management Conference Order is modified as

follows:

Current Date New Date

Expert Disclosures January 31, 2014 March 31, 2014

Rebuttal Expert Disclosures February 28, 2014 April 28, 2014

Motion for Class Certification April 25, 2014 June 27, 2014

All guidelines and requirements as set forth in the Court’s original Case Management

Conference Order remain in effect. See ECF No. 9.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
