SMRH:411714274.1 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR ADECCO TO 

RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS’ DISCOVERY REQUESTS

Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 29(b) and Eastern District 

of California Local Rule 144(a), Plaintiffs Ken Miller, Jeremie Todd, and 

Christopher Franklin (collectively “Plaintiffs”) and Defendant Adecco USA, Inc. 

(“Adecco”) stipulate as follows:

WHEREAS, on September 3, 2013, Plaintiffs served Adecco by U.S. 

mail with (a) Plaintiffs’ Interrogatories to Adecco, Set One; (b) Plaintiffs’ Request 

for Production of Documents to Adecco, Set One; (c) Plaintiffs’ Notice of 

Deposition of Designated Corporate Representative(s) of Adecco and Request for 

Production of Documents; and (d) Plaintiffs’ Request for Admissions to Adecco, Set 

One;

WHEREAS, Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 33(b)(2), 34(b)(2)(A), 

and 36(a)(3) require that Adecco respond, within 30 days of service, to the 

Interrogatories, Request for Production of Documents, Request for Production of 

Documents contained in Plaintiffs’ Notice of Deposition of Designated Corporate 

Representative(s), and Request for Admissions described above, unless the parties 

stipulate to a shorter or longer period of time to respond under Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 29(b);

WHEREAS, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 6(d) provides that Adecco

has an additional three days to respond to the above-referenced discovery requests, 

which were served by U.S. mail, thereby making Adecco’s original deadline to 

respond October 7, 2013;

WHEREAS, Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 29(b) provides that the 

parties may enter into a stipulation extending the time for any form of discovery 

without court approval, so long as it does not interfere with the time set for 

completing discovery, for hearing a motion, or for trial;

WHEREAS, Eastern District of California Local Rule 144(a) allows 

the parties, unless the response deadline has been set by the Court, to enter into an 

initial stipulation extending the time to respond to interrogatories, requests for

RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS’ DISCOVERY REQUESTS

admissions, or requests for production of documents by no more than 28 days 

without approval of the Court;

WHEREAS, Eastern District of California Local Rule 144(a) requires 

that further stipulations to extend the time to respond to discovery requests after an 

initial 28-day extension be approved by the Court;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Adecco previously agreed to an extension 

for Adecco to respond to discovery on or before October 28, 2013;

WHEREAS, Adecco requires additional time to respond to Plaintiffs’ 

discovery because there are multiple sources of information and documents due to 

multiple individuals having worked on the relevant account with Defendant CEVA 

Logistics U.S., Inc. and documents are in storage and time is needed to retrieve 

them;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Adecco have agreed that Adecco may have 

an additional 14 days, constituting a total extension of 35 days, up to and including 

November 11, 2013, to respond to the Interrogatories, Request for Production of 

Documents, Request for Production of Documents contained in Plaintiffs’ Notice of 

Deposition of Designated Corporate Representative(s), and Request for Admissions 

described above;

WHEREAS, Adecco does not waive any objections it may have to the 

discovery requests described above if it responds to them on or before November 

11, 2013 and none of the Requests for Admission will be deemed admitted unless 

Adecco fails to respond to the Request for Admissions on or before November 11, 

2013;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Adecco agree that thorough and complete 

responses to discovery requests are preferable to rushed and incomplete responses 

that would likely result from strict adherence to a deadline prior to November 11, 

2013;

SMRH:411714274.1 STIPULATION AND [PROPOSED] ORDER EXTENDING TIME FOR ADECCO TO 

RESPOND TO PLAINTIFFS’ DISCOVERY REQUESTS

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs and Adecco agree that a further extension of the 

deadline for Adecco to respond to the discovery requests described above will not 

interfere with (a) the class certification discovery cut-off date, the expert witness 

disclosure deadline, or the rebuttal expert disclosure deadline set in the Pretrial 

Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 15), provided that United States District Judge Troy L. 

Nunley agrees to an extension of the current April 30, 2014 class certification 

discovery cut-off date, May 30, 2014 expert witness disclosure deadline, and June 

30, 2014 rebuttal expert disclosure deadline set therein; (b) the December 11, 2014 

class certification hearing date set in the Pretrial Scheduling Order; or (c) any other 

hearing date or deadline set in the Pretrial Scheduling Order;

WHEREAS, there is good cause for the Court to approve a further 

extension of the deadline for Adecco to respond to the aforementioned discovery 

requests, for the reasons noted above; and the further extension will not prejudice 

any party, provided that United States District Judge Troy L. Nunley agrees to an 

extension of the April 30, 2014 class certification discovery cut-off date, May 30, 

2014 expert witness disclosure deadline, and June 30, 2014 rebuttal expert 

disclosure deadline included in the Pretrial Scheduling Order;

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between 

Plaintiffs and CEVA, through their respective counsel, as follows:

1. Adecco may have an additional 14 days, up to and including 

November 11, 2013, to respond to Plaintiffs’ Interrogatories, Request for Production 

of Documents, Request for Production of Documents contained in Plaintiffs’ Notice 

of Deposition of Designated Corporate Representative(s), and Request for

Admissions described above, provided that United States District Judge Troy L. 

Nunley agrees to an extension of the April 30, 2014 class certification discovery cutoff date, May 30, 2014 expert witness disclosure deadline, and June 30, 2014
