PRODUCTION OF DOCUMENTS & REQUEST TO 

EXTEND CASE DEADLINES – 1:18-CV-00120-DAD 

(BAM)

Gibson, Dunn & 

Crutcher LLP

Plaintiffs Juan Trevino, Christopher Ward, Linda Quinteros, Romeo Palma, Brittany Hagman, 

Alberto Gianini, and Juan C. Avalos (collectively “Plaintiffs”) and Defendants Golden State FC LLC 

(now known as Amazon.com Services, Inc.), Amazon.com Inc., and Amazon Fulfillment Services, 

Inc. (now known as Amazon.com Services, Inc.) (collectively, “Defendants”) (together, the “Parties”) 

by and through their respective counsel of record, hereby submit this Stipulation Regarding 

Plaintiffs’ Production of Documents Pursuant to Dkt. No. 82 and request to extend case deadlines.

WHEREAS, on April 25, 2019, the Court set the following case deadlines: non-expert 

discovery related to class certification shall be completed by September 30, 2019; Plaintiffs shall file 

their motion for class certification by October 24, 2019; Defendants shall file their opposition thereto 

by December 12, 2019; Plaintiffs shall file their reply by January 30, 2020; and the hearing on 

Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification shall occur on February 19, 2020 at 9:30 a.m. (Dkt. 69); 

WHEREAS, on May 17, 2019, Defendants propounded Requests for Production on each 

Plaintiff. Dkt. 78-1 ¶¶ 2–4, Exs. A–G. These requests sought, among other items, cell phone records 

or other documents that would show Plaintiffs’ activities on their personal phones (such as email, text 

messaging, social media activity, and phone calls) during the workday, subject to redactions for 

Plaintiffs’ privacy;

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs objected and declined to produce documents in response to these 

requests. Following multiple meet and confer discussions, on July 26, 2019, Defendants filed a 

motion to compel the production of these requested documents (Dkt. 76);

WHEREAS, on August 19, 2019, Magistrate Judge Barbara McAuliffe issued an order 

granting Defendants’ motion to compel and ordering Plaintiffs’ to produce responsive documents to 

the relevant requests no later than September 6, 2019 (Dkt. 82); 

WHEREAS, on September 6, 2019, Plaintiffs Romeo Palma, Brittany Hagman, Alberto 

Gianini, and Christopher Ward had neither produced responsive documents nor indicated that they 

had searched for such documents but were unable to locate any;

WHEREAS, that same day, anticipating that these Plaintiffs would soon be out of compliance 

with the Court’s order, Defendants informed Plaintiffs by email that they would consider an

extension of Plaintiffs’ deadline to comply in exchange for a short extension of the discovery 

deadline and class certification briefing deadlines to allow for the depositions of Plaintiffs Romeo 

Palma, Brittany Hagman, and Alberto Gianini, which were delayed by their failure to comply with 

the Court’s order, and to allow more time for Defendants to prepare their witnesses for the 30(b)(6) 

depositions noticed on August 20, 2019 (Dkt. 84-2);

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs did not agree to an extension by the requested deadline—end of day, 

September 9, 2019, and Defendants therefore filed a Motion for Sanctions that same day, based on 

Plaintiffs Romeo Palma, Brittany Hagman, Alberto Gianini, and Christopher Ward’s failure to 

comply with this Court’s August 19, 2019 order (Dkt. 84);

WHEREAS, on September 10, 2019, counsel for Plaintiffs requested to meet and confer 

further regarding Defendants’ Motion for Sanctions and proposed extension of case deadlines; and 

WHEREAS, as a result of their further meet and confer efforts, the Parties have agreed to the 

following terms under which Defendants will agree to withdraw their Motion for Sanctions without 

prejudice: 

1. The discovery and briefing schedule for Plaintiffs’ anticipated Motion for Class 

Certification shall be adjusted as follows:

Current Deadlines Proposed New Deadline

Non-Expert Discovery Cutoff1 September 30, 2019 October 31, 2019

Class Certification Due Date October 24, 2019 November 22, 2019

Opposition December 12, 2019 January 13, 2019

Reply January 30, 2019 Same as current

Hearing Date February 19, 2020 9:30 a.m. Same as current

2. No later than September 18, 2019, Plaintiffs Romeo Palma, Brittany Hagman, Alberto 

Gianini, and Christopher Ward shall provide to Defendants, in writing, a description of 

their efforts to date to comply with the Court’s August 19, 2019 order.

3. Plaintiffs Romeo Palma, Brittany Hagman, Alberto Gianini, and Christopher Ward 

shall comply with the August 19 order no later than September 30, 2019. If any

 

1 The parties have agreed that the purpose of extending this deadline is not to permit the service of 

additional written discovery requests and that such requests will not be permitted.

Plaintiff is unable to comply by September 30 because he or she is unable to obtain his 

or her records from third parties by that time, Plaintiffs shall agree to reasonable 

further extensions of the deadlines herein, or Defendants may refile a motion for 

sanctions for noncompliance with the August 19 order. 

THEREFORE, IT IS STIPULATED AND AGREED THAT good cause exists to extend the 

non-expert discovery cut-off date to October 31, 2019, the deadline for Plaintiffs to file their motion 

for class certification to November 22, 2019, and the deadline for Defendants to file their opposition 

thereto to January 13, 2019 and the Parties respectfully request that the Court enter the proposed 

order accompanying this stipulation.
