5 record:

6 WHEREAS, the above-captioned consolidated action is a proposed class action alleging

10 WHEREAS, pursuant to Local Rule 6-2(a) of the Civil Local Rules for the United States

11 District Court for the Northern District of California, the parties “may file a stipulation,

12 conforming to Civil L.R. 7-12, requesting an order changing time that would affect the date of an

13 event or deadline already fixed by Court order;”

14 WHEREAS, document discovery, including documents obtained from third parties, has

18 to accommodate the availability of Plaintiffs’ representatives for deposition, the hearing on class

20 WHEREAS, pursuant to the Scheduling Order, the parties have scheduled a mediation for

21 October 15th, 2015, and believe the case would benefit from extending the fact discovery cutoff

22 and related dates for 60 days to allow the parties to focus on that mediation;

23 WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred and agree that it is now in their mutual

24 interest and in the interest of judicial efficiency to extend the discovery cutoff deadlines

25 previously ordered by the Court;

26 WHEREAS, this requested extension will not affect the date for oral argument on Lead

27
