STIPULATION AND ORDER EXTENDING DISCOVERY DEADLINE 

CASE NO. 12-CV-02502 

 Plaintiffs Antonio and Beatriz Esquivel (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Bank of America, 

N.A. and Bank of America Corporation (together, “Bank of America” or “Defendants”) 

(collectively referred to as the “Parties”) jointly submit this Stipulation to move this court for an 

order extending the deadline for “focused individual” discovery an additional forty-five (45) days, 

until June 27, 2016 (“Stipulation”), so that the parties may finalize the settlement in principle they 

recently reached. 

 WHEREAS, on March 14, 2016, the Court ordered Plaintiffs to file an amended 

complaint through stipulation or request, and gave the Parties sixty (60) days to complete any 

additional, non-duplicative “focused individual” discovery. (Dkt. #98) 

 WHEREAS, Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint was filed, through stipulation and 

the Court’s Order, on April 5, 2016. (Dkt. ## 100, 101) 

 WHEREAS, the Parties have engaged in settlement discussions and have reached an 

agreement in principle on Plaintiffs’ claims, and will now work in good faith to memorialize and 

finalize the settlement as quickly as possible. 

 WHEREAS, the Parties therefore do not wish to incur additional fees and costs on 

pending written discovery and depositions that otherwise must be completed by May 13, 2016. 

 WHEREAS, though the Parties do not anticipate failing to reach a final settlement, if 

they do not reach a final settlement by June 27, 2016, they will be given until that date to 

complete “focused individual” discovery in order not to prejudice their rights. 

 WHEREAS, this request is made in good faith and not for the purposes of delay. 

 WHEREAS, under these circumstances there is good cause to grant the requested 

extension. 

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

and jointly request that the Court extend the date for “focused individual discovery that is not 

duplicative of the class certification related discovery that has already occurred” an additional 

forty-five (45) days, until June 27, 2016, so that the Parties may work to finalize settlement and 

potentially avoid incurring additional costs. 

IT IS SO STIPULATED
