WHEREAS, at the August 13, 2015 Case Management Conference and in a subsequent 

order, this Court set the hearing for Plaintiff’s motion for class certification for May 5, 2016 and 

ordered that Plaintiff would file her opening brief on February 25, 2016, P&G would file its 

opposition by March 28, 2016, and Plaintiff would file her reply by April 14, 2016 [See Dkt. No. 

24];

WHEREAS, the parties previously sought and received two time modifications to permit 

the parties to defer depositions and additional discovery so as to conserve resources in light of the 

court’s order, in a similar case in which a plaintiff is challenging Charmin Freshmates flushable 

wipes (Belfiore v. Procter & Gamble Company, Case No. 14-cv-4090 (E.D.N.Y.) (Weinstein, 

J.)), that those parties participate in settlement talks with Magistrate Judge Levy, which began on 

January 21, 2016; 

WHEREAS, in light of the settlement talks in Belfiore, the parties sought and the Court 

entered on February 11, 2016 the first time modification, pursuant to which Plaintiff would file 

her motion for class certification by May 19, 2016; P&G would file its opposition by June 23, 

2016; Plaintiff would file her reply by July 14, 2016; and the hearing would be held at 1:30 p.m. 

on August 4, 2016 [See Dkt. 27]; 

WHEREAS, again in light of the continuing settlement talks in Belfiore, the parties sought 

and the Court entered on April 25, 2016 the second time modification, pursuant to which Plaintiff 

would file her motion for class certification by August 24, 2016; P&G would file its opposition 

by September 28, 2016; Plaintiff would file her reply by October 19, 2016; and the hearing would 

be held at 1:30 p.m. on November 10, 2016 [See Dkt No. 29]; 

WHEREAS, on June 10, 2016, Magistrate Judge Levy adjourned the last scheduled 

settlement conference in Belfiore sine die, and there are no additional settlement conferences 

scheduled;

WHEREAS, P&G has informed Plaintiff that it intends to file a motion to stay this action, 

and Plaintiff has informed P&G that it intends to oppose the motion; 

WHEREAS, the parties request a slightly expedited briefing and hearing schedule for the 

motion to stay;

WHEREAS, there have been two previous time modifications in this case, discussed 

above;

WHEREAS, the effect of the requested time modification will be to extend the current 

class certification briefing schedule approximately two months; 

NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES BY COUNSEL HEREBY STIPULATE as follows: 

P&G shall file its motion to stay by June 23, 2016; Plaintiff shall file her opposition by 

June 30, 2016; P&G shall file its reply by July 7, 2016; and the hearing on the motion shall be 

held at 1:30 p.m. on July 21, 2016, or another date convenient for the Court;

Plaintiff shall file her motion for class certification by October 20, 2016; P&G shall

on February 2, 2017, or another date convenient for the Court; and 

If P&G’s motion for a stay is not decided by July 28, 2016, the parties shall stipulate to a 

further extension to the briefing schedule for Plaintiff’s motion for class certification, so that the 

motion is not due until 90 days after the decision on the motion for stay.
