CASE NO.: 14-CV-02843-VC

-2-

Plaintiff Beverly Nunes (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Twitter, Inc. (“Twitter”) (collectively, “the Parties”) have met and conferred on the status of the above-captioned matter, and have

jointly agreed to request a further three-month stay of proceedings in this matter through September 3, 2015, along with corresponding extensions to the existing discovery and summary 

judgment briefing schedule.

In support of their stipulated request, the Parties state as follows:

1. On March 5, 2015, pursuant to stipulation of the Parties, the Court entered a 

three-month stay of all proceedings in this matter and modified discovery and summary judgment deadlines accordingly. The stay is currently scheduled to end on June 2, 2015.

2. On May 28, 2015, the Parties met and conferred through their respective counsel 

regarding a potential stipulation to extend the stay in this case.

3. Twitter believes the stay should be extended because issues presented in three 

proceedings currently pending before the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the U.S. Supreme 

Court, and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) directly bear upon issues to be addressed by the Court in this action and may control this case. Specifically, in Marks v. Crunch 

San Diego, LLC, No. 14-56834 (9th Cir. appeal filed Nov. 21, 2014), the Ninth Circuit will address what is the proper definition of an “automatic telephone dialing system” under the TCPA. 

In Spokeo Inc. v. Robins, No. 13-1339 (certiorari granted April 27, 2015), the U.S. Supreme 

Court will resolve a circuit split on the question of whether a plaintiff alleging a statutory violation must show actual injury to demonstrate Article III standing. Oral argument in Spokeo is 

scheduled for the October 2015 term. Finally, there are currently five petitions pending before 

the FCC seeking rulings (i) clarifying that “prior express consent of the called party” for purposes of the TCPA means consent of the intended recipient of the call, and/or (ii) establishing a safe 

harbor so that businesses who make good faith efforts to comply with the TCPA cannot be held 

liable just because a wireless number has been reassigned. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler announced on May 27, 2015 that he has circulated a proposal to address these and other TCPArelated petitions, which will be voted on by the full Commission on June 18, 2015.

4. Plaintiff agrees that the stay in this case should be continued through September 

3, 2015 in light of the FCC’s imminent action on the recycled numbers and other TCPA-related 

petitions, but disagrees that the case should be stayed pending resolution of the Marks and 

Spokeo proceedings. Nevertheless, Plaintiff agrees that during the pendency of the continued 

stay, Twitter may move to further extend the stay beyond September 3, 2015.

THE PARTIES THEREFORE STIPULATE through their undersigned counsel, subject 

to the Court’s approval, that:

1. The stay of all proceedings in this matter should be continued through September 

3, 2015.

2. The existing case schedule should be modified as follows: Phase I Discovery shall 

be completed by December 30, 2015; Initial Expert Witness statements shall be submitted by 

January 15, 2015; Rebuttal Expert Witness statements shall be submitted by January 29, 2016; 

Motions for Summary Judgment on Phase 1 to be heard on May 19, 2016 10:00 a.m. 

3. If Twitter wishes to seek further extension of the stay past September 3, 2015, it 

may file a motion seeking such relief during the pendency of the stay. Any motion by Twitter to 

further continue the stay shall be due by July 8, 2015; any opposition by Plaintiff shall be due by 

July 29, 2015; Twitter’s reply shall be due by August 5, 2015; and the matter will be set for hearing on a date on or after August 21, 2015, to be determined by the Court.
