Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-1(b), Plaintiffs Steven Rabin and John Chapman and 

Defendant PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) (collectively, the “Parties”) hereby stipulate as 

follows:

WHEREAS, Defendant filed its Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings, ECF No. 55, on 

December 1, 2016 (“Pleadings Motion”);

WHEREAS, under the District’s normal scheduling rules, Plaintiffs’ deadline to respond is 

currently set for December 15, 2016, and the hearing date is January 5, 2017;

WHEREAS, per the most recent telephonic Case Management Conference (“CMC”), the 

Parties intend to file their joint discovery letter by the December 16, 2016 deadline (“Discovery 

Letter”); 

WHEREAS, in light of the ongoing briefing on the discovery dispute and the potential 

relevance of the Pleadings Motion to both the discovery dispute and the collective action 

certification question, the Parties request that the Court reset the Pleading Motion schedule and 

vacate the deadline for Plaintiffs’ conditional collective action certification motion (currently 

January 26, 2017), pending resolution of these matters; and

WHEREAS, in light of the potential relevance of the Pleadings Motion to the Discovery 

Letter, the Parties request that the Court consider resolution of the two matters together.

THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate to the 

following:

1. Plaintiffs’ response to Pleadings Motion shall be due January 13, 2017. 

2. PwC’s reply in support of its Pleadings Motion shall be due January 26, 2017.

3. The hearing on the Pleadings Motion shall be set for February 9, 2017 or as soon 

thereafter as the Court may hear the Parties. 

4. The deadline for Plaintiffs’ conditional collective action certification motion shall be 

VACATED. The deadline shall be reset by the Court.
