Whereas, the April 14, 2015, JOINT REPORT PURSUANT TO FED. R. CIV. P. 26(f) filed 

by Plaintiff and Defendants agreed to phased discovery with pre-class certification discovery prior 

to merits discovery. See Docket No. 14, p.5:6-7.

Whereas, the Court’s April 22, 2015, Preliminary Scheduling Order refers to “6. NonExpert Discovery Cutoff”, “7. Expert Disclosure,” “8. Supplemental Expert Disclosure,” and “9. 

Expert Discovery Cutoff” without reference to phased discovery. See Docket No. 16, p. 2:20-

3:11.

Whereas, during the Court’s November 23, 2015, Informal Discovery Conference, the 

Court indicated that it believed the omission of phased discovery in the Preliminary Scheduling 

Order was inadvertent.

Whereas the Parties continue to desire phased discovery in this matter.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties hereto through their respective 

attorneys of record that discovery in this matter be phased with pre-class certification discovery 

prior to merits discovery. The Parties jointly request correction or clarification of the Court’s April 

22, Preliminary Scheduling Order.

Respectfully submitted,

ORDER

IT IS SO ORDERED.
