ORDER AMENDING CERTAIN DEADLINES

3:17-MD-02777-EMC 

WHEREAS, on March 15, 2018, the Court granted in part and denied in part 

Defendants’ motions to dismiss the Class Plaintiffs’ Amended Consolidated Consumer Class 

Action Complaint, and granted leave to amend certain of their claims (ECF No. 290); 

WHEREAS, the Class Plaintiffs intend to amend certain of their claims, and 

Defendants may move to dismiss some or all of the claims; 

WHEREAS, Class Plaintiffs and Defendants previously raised a dispute in the 

April 3, 2018 Joint Case Management Conference Statement (ECF No. 292) concerning the 

scheduling of class certification depositions, the schedule for class certification briefing, and 

Class Plaintiffs’ request to bifurcate class certification briefing; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred and resolved the dispute in an 

attempt to avoid any undue delay in these proceedings, such that, subject to Court approval, Class 

Plaintiffs will file their amended complaint and then move for class certification on all claims 

asserted in the amended complaint during the pendency of Defendants’ anticipated motion to 

dismiss claims in the amended complaint; and 

WHEREAS, the agreed-upon schedule sets forth a briefing schedule for 

Defendants’ motion to dismiss Class Plaintiffs’ amended complaint and a revised schedule for 

briefing class certification of all claims. 

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED, by and 

among the Parties, and subject to the approval of the Court: 

The following deadlines are hereby established regarding the Class Plaintiffs’ 

amended complaint and Defendants’ anticipated motion to dismiss: 

Date Event 

April 23, 2018 The Class Plaintiffs shall file the Second Amended Consolidated 

Consumer Class Action Complaint (“SAC”). 

May 23, 2018 Defendants shall answer, move to dismiss, or otherwise respond to the 

SAC. 

June 22, 2018 Plaintiffs shall file any response in opposition to any motion to dismiss 

made by Defendants. 

July 13, 2018 Defendants will file any reply(ies) in support of their motions to dismiss.
