UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

LAUREN MATHEIN, and CHRISTINE 

SABAS, individually and on behalf of all 

others similarly situated,

Plaintiffs,

v.

PIER 1 IMPORTS, INC.; PIER 1 

IMPORTS (U.S.), INC.; and DOES 1 to 

100, inclusive,

Defendants.

No. 1:16-cv-00087-DAD-SAB

ORDER GRANTING JOINT STIPULATION 

EXTENDING PLAINTIFFS’ DEADLINE TO 

FILE A MOTION FOR CLASS 

CERTIFICATION

(Doc. No. 23)

On May 9, 2016, the court issued a scheduling order in this putative class action, setting a 

January 13, 2017 deadline for completing class certification discovery, and a February 10, 2017

deadline for the filing of a motion for class certification. (Doc. No. 15 at 2.) On September 2, 

2016, the court approved the parties’ stipulation to permit plaintiffs to file a first amended 

complaint. (Doc. No. 19.) On September 8, 2016, plaintiffs filed their first amended complaint

in which they named an additional plaintiff and alleged two additional claims. (Doc. No. 21.) 

The parties represent that on October 20, 2016, they met and conferred and discussed the class 

certification briefing schedule, including the depositions of the added plaintiff and Pier 1’s 

company representative that needed to be taken before the certification briefing, as well as the 

likelihood that expert and putative class member depositions may need to be taken in connection

with the certification briefing. (Doc. No. 23 at 2.) Consequently, on December 21, 2016, the 

parties filed a joint stipulation seeking to extend the deadline for plaintiffs’ filing of a motion for 

class certification. (Id. at 3.)

Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation and good cause appearing, the schedule in this action 

will be modified and the following filing deadlines will now apply:

1. The class certification discovery deadline is continued from January 13, 2017 to February 

10, 2017;

2. Plaintiffs’ deadline for the filing of a motion for class certification is continued from 

February 10, 2017 to March 17, 2017;

3. Defendants’ deadline to file an opposition to the class certification motion, if any, will 

now be April 28, 2017;

4. Plaintiffs’ deadline to file a reply in support of their class certification motion, if any, will

now be May 19, 2017; and

5. Plaintiff’s motion for class certification will now be heard on June 6, 2017 at 9:30 a.m. in 

the courtroom of the undersigned.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 21, 2016
