AMENDED STIP. AND ORDER CASE NO. 2:13-CV-02006-MCE-AC

TO MODIFY PRETRIAL DISCOVERY DEADLINES

Plaintiff ANGELA S. WEBB (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Bank of America, N.A. 

(“Defendant” or “Bank of America”) (collectively referred to as the “Parties”) jointly submit 

this Amended Stipulation to Modify Pretrial Discovery Deadlines.

WHEREAS, Plaintiff Angela S. Webb filed this putative class action against Bank 

of America on September 25, 2013;

WHEREAS, this Court granted in part and denied in part Bank of America’s motion 

to dismiss Plaintiff’s Complaint on December 23, 2013 (Dkt. 16);

WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a First Amended Complaint (“FAC”) on January 6, 2014 

(Dkt. No. 17);

WHEREAS, Bank of America filed its Answer on January 24, 2014 (Dkt. No. 18);

WHEREAS, the Court entered a Pretrial Scheduling Order (“Scheduling Order”) on 

November 24, 2014 (Dkt. No. 23), which directed Plaintiff to file her motion for class 

certification no later than November 12, 2015, identified the discovery cut-off for classrelated issues as July 13, 2013, and identified the deadline for the disclosure of expert 

witnesses to take place on September 14, 2015;

WHEREAS, on December 5, 2014, the Parties filed a Joint Objection to Court’s 

11-24-14 Pretrial Scheduling Order (“Joint Objection”) which requested that Plaintiff’s 

deadline for serving her expert disclosures and reports be one month prior to the class 

certification motion (which should have been October 12, 2015), Bank of America’s 

deadline for serving its expert disclosures be on the day the class certification motion is 

due (which should have been November 12, 2015), and expert discovery on class 

certification discovery be completed thereafter;

WHEREAS, instead, the Joint Objection included incorrect dates that identified the 

deadline for Plaintiff to serve her expert disclosures and reports as June 12, 2015, the 

deadline for Bank of America to serve its expert disclosures and reports as July 13, 2015, 

and the deadline for expert discovery on class certification issues as September 14, 2015 

(the “Incorrect Dates”);

AMENDED STIP. AND ORDER CASE NO. 2:13-CV-02006-MCE-AC

TO MODIFY PRETRIAL DISCOVERY DEADLINES

WHEREAS, on January 14, 2015, the Court adopted the Incorrect Dates in the 

Joint Objection as part of the case schedule (Dkt. No. 27) (“Order on the Joint 

Objection”); 

WHEREAS, on July 17, 2014, Plaintiff served discovery requests on Bank of 

America comprised of 20 requests for production and 11 interrogatories regarding, 

among other things, Bank of America’s policies and procedures and data for loan 

modifications and servicing transfers;

WHEREAS, Bank of America responded to Plaintiff’s requests for production by 

producing documents from Plaintiff’s loan files, Bank of America’s policies and 

procedures, and litigation complaints involving Bank of America, and responded to 

Plaintiff’s interrogatories on August 21, 2014, and supplemented its responses on 

October 31, 2014 and June 15, 2015;

WHEREAS, Bank of America served discovery requests on Plaintiff on April 10, 

2015, to which Plaintiff responded on June 10, 2015;

WHEREAS, Bank of America served a notice of deposition on Plaintiff on June 4, 

2015 and served an amended notice of deposition on Plaintiff on June 23, 2015, and the 

Parties agree that a deposition of Plaintiff will take place;

WHEREAS, Plaintiff served on Bank of America a notice of 30(b)(6) deposition on 

June 19, 2015 (“30(b)(6) Notice”) containing 36 areas of inquiry and document requests 

with respect to those areas of inquiry, to which Bank of America served formal responses 

and objections on July 2, 2015;

WHEREAS, Bank of America is in the process of investigating the 36 areas of 

inquiry in response to Plaintiff’s 30(b)(6) Notice. Given the number of noticed topics, 

Bank of America requires more time than is currently available under the existing 

discovery schedule to respond to Plaintiff’s 30(b)(6) Notice, and identify and prepare a 

witness (or witnesses) for 30(b)(6) depositions;

TO MODIFY PRETRIAL DISCOVERY DEADLINES

30(b)(6) witness for a deposition, and at the present time, Bank of America intends to 

designate three witnesses to testify as to the topics contained in the 30(b)(6) Notice;

WHEREAS, the Parties have met and conferred several times regarding, among 

other things, the discovery schedule, Bank of America’s Interrogatory Responses, the 

deposition of Plaintiff, the topics for 30(b)(6) depositions, and Bank of America’s ability to

WHEREAS, based on those meet and confers, the Parties believe that they will 

need until September 4, 2015 to complete and respond to discovery that Plaintiff believes

necessary to oppose the class certification motion; 

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that they will have sufficient time to prepare their 

class certification briefing if the discovery deadlines are extended to the dates identified 

below;

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it makes practical sense for Plaintiff to submit

America to have 30 days to respond;

WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed that additional time for discovery is 

necessary, and that no party would be prejudiced by the below changes;

WHEREAS, the Parties are not requesting that any of the class certification 

briefing deadlines be changed;

WHEREAS, this is the Parties’ first request for a modification to the discovery 

deadlines;

WHEREAS, on July 9, 2015, the Parties filed a Stipulation to Modify Pretrial 

Discovery Deadlines requesting a fact discovery cut-off on class certification issues of 

September 4, 2015 (Dkt. No. 30);
