referred to as the “Parties”) by and through their undersigned counsel of record,

here by stipulate, and by this Stipulation request the Court's approval, to the 

following: 

1. Due to the late substitutions of attorneys on both sides of this case 

(with new counsel for all Plaintiffs as of November 2014, and new counsel for 

Defendant YP as of February 2015), and the current pace of discovery, the Parties 

now seek a further good faith and reasonable modification of the Court’s current 

Scheduling Order. 

2. As the Court may recall, the 5 Plaintiffs allege age and gender 

discrimination in connection with a company-wide job consolidation/relocation and 

each Plaintiff's unsuccessful efforts thereafter to be re-hired or retained in 

alternative jobs to which they applied. 

3. The Parties have diligently litigated this action. For example: 

a. Following the initial Status Conference, Defendant AT&T (a 

party which has recently been dismissed from this matter, with 

prejudice) propounded extensive written discovery on Plaintiffs, 

with Plaintiffs identifying for the first time some 70 alternative 

positions (between them) to which allegedly they unsuccessfully 

applied for or were rejected for, in favor of younger or male 

candidates. This was the first time Defendants AT&T, Inc. and 

YP became aware of the volume of allegedly discriminatory acts 

alleged against each of them. 

b. Follow-up discovery resulted in Plaintiffs serving a combined 

total of over 250 pages of explanatory Interrogatory responses. 

c. In early 2014, the Parties engaged in an early but unsuccessful 

mediation through the Court’s Voluntary Dispute Resolution 

Program (with mediator, John Lavra). 

d. On October 23, 2015, former Defendant AT&T, Inc. filed a 

Motion for Summary Judgment seeking dismissal from the case.

In response, Plaintiffs voluntarily agreed to dismiss AT&T, Inc. 

from the case, with prejudice. A stipulation to do so was filed 

with the Court, which lead to the dismissal of AT&T, Inc., with 

prejudice, on November 3, 2015. 

e. The Parties have commenced depositions. Plaintiffs’ 

depositions were concluded on January 13, 2016. Defendant 

anticipates serving additional written discovery as a result of 

facts/issues raised during Plaintiffs’ deposition. 

f. In July 2015, each Plaintiff served extensive written discovery 

on Defendants YP and AT&T, Inc., which was responded to. 

Based on those responses, Plaintiffs have recently proposed 

taking six (6) individual depositions and one (1) corporate 

representative deposition. The parties are in the process of 

narrowing down dates for the individuals and matters on which 

examination is requested for the corporate representative. 

g. The parties continue to speak directly about the case; about 

appropriate processes for moving the case forward; about 

possibilities for future resolution of some or all issues; and about 

litigation efficiency. 

h. Due to the illness of Plaintiffs’ counsel and staff turnover, 

additional time is needed to complete all discovery, including 

depositions. 

 

4. Finally, in light of the above, and the Parties’ discussions with Court at 

the Status Conference held on May 9, 2016, the Parties request the Court modify its 

Scheduling Order as follows:

 b. Given the volume of Plaintiffs’ allegations and issues and the

this Court's approval of the same:
