STIPULATION RE CASE SCHEDULING

Pursuant to Rule 16(b) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the parties attended a Case 

Management Conference on December 20, 2018, where the Court and the parties agreed to the 

following:

The parties have completed a session of mediation with the Hon. John M. True. No further 

mediation is presently planned. 

2. AMENDING THE PLEADINGS.

Any amendment of the pleadings after the date of this stipulation and order shall be 

governed by Rule 15 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

On November 30, 2018, Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint. The Laborers 

Defendants moved to strike that complaint, and the motion is presently under submission. 

Plaintiffs and the Employer Defendants have agreed that the Employer Defendants will not be 

required to respond to the Third Amended Complaint until the Court has ruled on the pending 

motion to strike, and will be subject to the same terms the Court sets for the Laborers Defendants. 

3. DISCOVERY.

On or before July 12, 2019, all non-expert discovery shall be completed by the parties. 

Until the Further Case Management Conference on August 29, 2019, the parties shall engage in

per party; (b) twenty-five (25) interrogatories per party as discussed, including all discrete 

subparts; (c) a reasonable number of requests for production of documents or for inspection per 

party; and (d) a reasonable number of requests for admission per party.

4. DISCOVERY DISPUTES.

Discovery disputes will be referred to a Magistrate Judge. After the parties have met and 

conferred, the parties shall prepare a joint letter of not more than 5 pages explaining the dispute. 

Up to 12 pages of attachments may be added. The joint letter must be electronically filed under
