STIPULATION AND ORDER 

- 1 - 

TO THE COURT, THE PARTIES AND THEIR ATTORNEYS OF RECORD:

PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that, pursuant to Local Rule 143, Plaintiffs Rolando Munoz 

and Joanna Fraire and Defendants Haier US Appliance Solutions, Inc., d/b/a GE Appliances 

(“GEA”) and Home Depot USA, Inc. (“Home Depot”) have stipulated to continue the fact 

discovery, expert disclosure and rebuttal expert designation deadlines set in the Court’s initial 

pretrial scheduling order by three months (Dkt. 5). Good cause exists for the extension of those 

deadlines as a result of the coronavirus public health crisis, which has limited and will continue 

to limit the parties’ abilities to conduct discovery. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b); Johnson v. 

Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 609 (9th Cir. 1992). Therefore, the parties 

respectfully request that the Court modify the deadlines in its initial pretrial scheduling order 

such that fact discovery will close on December 18, 2020, expert disclosures will be made by 

February 22, 2021, and rebuttal experts will be designated by March 30, 2021.
