Plaintiffs Steve Rabin and John Chapman (“Plaintiffs”) and Defendant 

PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (“PwC”) (collectively, “the Parties”) hereby stipulate and agree as 

follows: 

WHEREAS, on July 13, 2017, Plaintiffs and PwC participated in a telephonic hearing with 

the Court regarding ongoing discovery disputes; 

WHEREAS, the Court’s Minute Order, ECF No. 134, instructed the Parties to submit a joint 

letter brief by July 26, 2017, concerning the Parties’ dispute over Plaintiffs’ request for production 

of ESI from PwC; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have engaged in extensive negotiation over the course of 

approximately five months to narrow the scope of their remaining ESI dispute; 

WHEREAS, the Parties’ remaining ESI dispute involves complex issues related to 

technology-assisted review (TAR) and ESI best practices; 

WHEREAS, the Parties have already begun to exchange text; 

WHEREAS, because of the technical complexity of the ESI issues involved and the 

approaches to be proposed, the Parties request that the page limit be extended to a total of eight 

pages, with each side allowed at most four pages. 

THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED that the page limit is extended to eight 

pages, with at most four pages allocated per Party. 

Dated: July 24, 2017 Respectfully submitted,
