STIPULATION AND ORDER 

RE: CLASS CERTIFICATION EXPERT DEADLINES CASE NO. 2:13-CV-02006-MCE-AC

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 Stipulation Regarding Class Certification Expert Deadlines. 

WHEREAS, on November 24, 2014, this Court issued a Pretrial Scheduling Order, 

which provided that (1) the Parties file and serve expert designations and reports not later 

than September 14, 2015; (2) Plaintiff’s motion for class certification be filed not later than 

November 12, 2015; (3) Defendant’s opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for class certification 

be filed not later than January 14, 2016; (4) Plaintiff’s reply be filed not later than 

February 18, 2016; and (5) the hearing on the motion for class certification is set for 

March 17, 2016 at 2:00 p.m. (Dkt. 23);

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

November 24, 2014 Pretrial Scheduling Order requesting that expert discovery be 

bifurcated as between class certification issues and merits issues (rather than requiring 

the work of all experts, including merits experts, to be completed by September 14, 2015) 

(Dkt. 24);

WHEREAS, the December 5, 2014 Joint Objection requested that Plaintiff’s 

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

the class certification motion deadline (which should have been October 12, 2015), Bank 

of America’s deadline for filing and 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 on September 14, 2015 

(Id.);

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

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

2015, the deadline for Bank of America to file and 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”) (Id.);

STIPULATION AND ORDER 

RE: CLASS CERTIFICATION EXPERT DEADLINES CASE NO. 2:13-CV-02006-MCE-AC

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

Joint Objection as part of the case schedule (Dkt. 27);

WHEREAS, on July 23, 2015, the Parties filed an Amended Stipulation to Modify 

Pretrial Discovery Deadlines (“Amended Stipulation”) in which they agreed that it made 

practical sense for Plaintiff to submit her expert disclosures and report concurrently with 

her class certification motion on November 12, 2015; that Defendant have 30 days to 

respond to Plaintiff’s class certification expert report with its own class certification expert 

report on December 12, 2015; and that expert discovery on class certification issues 

conclude by January 28, 2016 (Dkt. 36); 

WHEREAS, on July 29, 2015, the Court adopted the proposed deadlines in the 

Amended Stipulation (Dkt. 37);

WHEREAS, the proposed deadline for Bank of America to file and serve its expert 

disclosures and report on class certification issues was based on the Parties’ assumption 

that Bank of America’s class certification expert would be responding to Plaintiff’s class 

certification expert; 

WHEREAS, on November 12, 2015, Plaintiff filed her motion for class certification 

without an expert report (Dkt. 41);

WHEREAS, the Parties agree that it makes practical sense for Bank of America to 

submit its expert disclosures and report on class certification issues concurrently with its 

opposition to Plaintiff’s motion for class certification no later than January 14, 2016, and 

for expert discovery on class certification issues to conclude no later than one month 

after that, on February 11, 2016;

NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel, hereby 

stipulate and jointly request that the Court set the deadline for Bank of America to file and 

serve its expert disclosures and report on class certification issues for January 14, 2016 

and set the expert discovery cut-off on class certification issues for February 11, 2016. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
