Case No. 3:18-cv-06922-JST 

FENWICK

ATTORNEYS AT LAW

WHEREAS, this action is a proposed class action alleging violations of the federal 

securities laws against Fitbit, Inc. (“Fitbit” or the “Company”), James Park, and William Zerella 

(collectively, “Defendants”); 

WHEREAS, this action is subject to the requirements of the Private Securities Litigation 

Reform Act of 1995, 15 U.S.C. § 78u–4, Pub. L. No. 104-67, 109 Stat. 737 (1995) (the “Reform 

Act”), which sets forth specialized procedures for the administration of securities class actions; 

WHEREAS, the Reform Act provides for the appointment of a lead plaintiff to act on 

behalf of the purported class, and further provides that the appointment of lead plaintiff shall not 

be made until after a decision on a motion to consolidate (if any) is rendered (15 U.S.C. § 78u4(a)(3)(B)(ii)); 

WHEREAS, the approval of lead counsel will follow the Court’s decision on the Lead 

Plaintiff Motion(s); 

WHEREAS, thereafter, the parties expect the Court to set a schedule for the filing of an 

amended or consolidated complaint by Lead Plaintiff; 

WHEREAS, Defendants anticipate filing motion(s) to dismiss in response to Lead 

Plaintiff’s complaint and that the parties will submit a briefing schedule to the Court in 

connection with any such motion(s); 

WHEREAS, because the special procedures specified in the Reform Act contemplate (i) 

the consolidation of similar actions, if any; (ii) appointment of Lead Plaintiff; and (iii) the filing 

of a single consolidated complaint by Lead Plaintiff, requiring defendants to respond to the 

existing complaint in the above-referenced action would result in the needless expenditure of 

private and judicial resources; 

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Reform Act, unless otherwise ordered by the Court, 

discovery in this action is stayed during the pendency of any motion to dismiss (15 U.S.C. § 78u4(b)(3)(B)); 

WHEREAS, on November 15, 2018, the Court issued an Initial Case Management 

Scheduling Order (Dkt. No. 5) in the above-captioned action, setting the following deadlines:

Case No. 3:18-cv-06922-JST 

FENWICK

ATTORNEYS AT LAW

1. January 23, 2019 for the parties to comply with certain requirements under the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Northern District of California Civil 

Local Rules (“Local Rules” or “Civil L.R.”) and Alternative Dispute Resolution 

(“ADR”) Local Rules regarding initial disclosures, early settlement, ADR process 

selection, and discovery planning; 

2. February 6, 2019 for the parties to file a Rule 26(f) Report, complete initial 

disclosures or state objections in the Rule 26(f) Report, and file a Joint Case 

Management Statement; and 

3. February 13, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. for an Initial Case Management Conference; 

WHEREAS, on January 3, 2019, this action was related to Lopes v. Fitbit, Inc., et al., 

Case No. 3:18-cv-06665-JST and reassigned to Judge Jon S. Tigar (Dkt. Nos. 12, 13); 

WHEREAS, on January 4, 2019, the Court issued a notice requiring the parties to file a 

Joint Case Management Statement by March 11, 2019 and resetting the Initial Case Management 

Conference for March 20, 2019 at 2:00 p.m. (Dkt. No. 14); and 

WHEREAS, counsel for the parties in the above-captioned action respectfully submit that 

because the pleadings are not yet set, and because discovery is stayed pending any motion(s) to 

dismiss, good cause exists to vacate the existing March 20, 2019 Initial Case Management 

Conference and associated deadlines until after such time as the Court has the opportunity to rule 

on the appointment of Lead Plaintiff and its counsel, as well as any motion(s) to dismiss; 

IT IS ACCORDINGLY STIPULATED, pursuant to Civil L.R. 7-12, by and between 

the undersigned counsel for the parties, that: 

1. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 6-1(a), the defendants’ obligation to answer, move or 

otherwise respond to the complaint is extended until after the appointment of a 

Lead Plaintiff and lead counsel, at which time the parties shall meet and confer and 

submit to the Court a mutually agreeable schedule for the filing of a consolidated 

or amended complaint and Defendants’ responses thereto; 

2. Pursuant to Civil L.R. 16-2, the Initial Case Management Conference scheduled
