UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SAN JOSE DIVISION

 ANITA HUNTER, et al.

Plaintiffs,

vs.

CITIBANK, N.A., et al.

Defendants

Case No.: 09-cv-02079 JW 

Assigned to Hon. James Ware

REVISED STIPULATION RE: 

CASE SCHEDULE;

[PROPOSED] ORDER 

WHEREAS, the parties have exchanged initial case documents, written discovery has 

commenced, a limited number of depositions have been taken and the parties are working 

together to create a deposition protocol to allow numerous additional depositions to be taken;

WHEREAS, the Defendants’ Motions to Dismiss the Amended Complaint have been 

ruled upon, the Second Amended Complaint has been filed, and the Defendants have either 

filed, or are preparing to issue their responsive pleadings, which include at least some additional 

Motions to Dismiss;

WHEREAS, the Motion for preliminary approval of the Wave II Settlements was filed 

in early April, the Wave II preliminary approval Hearing is scheduled for May 10, and the 

Wave II Final Fairness Hearing is anticipated to occur in August;

WHEREAS, the Plaintiffs and certain Defendants are in active settlement discussions, 

and they desire time to allow those discussions to develop so that a determination can be made 

as to whether additional Wave II or Wave III Settlements can be reached;

WHEREAS, the parties agreed upon an aggressive discovery schedule so that discovery 

in this action could be coordinated with the two adversary proceedings (“Adversaries”) 

involving parties that are also defendants in this case (Citibank and Boulder) pending before 

Judge Martin Glenn of the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York, as well as 

with any additional Adversary proceedings which the Trustee may file against Defendants in

this action. However, Citibank’s Motion to Dismiss the complaint in the Adversary action 

pending against it has been granted, an amended complaint has been filed, and a new round of 

briefing is underway, and, the Trustee has not yet filed additional Adversary Proceedings;

WHEREAS, the depositions of the incarcerated defendants (Ed Okun, Lara Coleman, 

David Field and Richard Simring), which could prove important to certain of the claims and 

potential defenses at issue, cannot, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 30, be taken 

without leave of Court. Plaintiffs have filed a Motion to allow those depositions to be taken 

and Plaintiffs have communicated with the four Federal Prisons where the defendants are 

incarcerated so that Plaintiffs (as well as any other parties who wish to participate in the prison 

depositions) can begin to make the arrangements necessary for those depositions to be taken at 

the prisons. It is anticipated that those arrangements will require some effort by all involved;

WHEREAS, discovery and depositions have not proceeded as quickly as had been 

contemplated by the initial scheduling order and the timing of depositions was further delayed 

when the Plaintiffs were required to file a Second Amended Complaint which will soon be 

addressed by motions to dismiss. It is now apparent that the deadlines set forth by the initial 

scheduling order are not realistic.

WHEREAS, based on the foregoing, the parties hereto agree that the discovery plan 

forth in Docket No. 128 and the case schedule set forth in Docket No.162 should be modified to 

allow time for the forthcoming Motions to Dismiss to be resolved, additional document 

discovery to take place, numerous additional depositions to be taken, the Wave II Settlement 

approval process to be concluded, and for additional settlement discussions to develop;

WHEREAS, the parties intend to continue to comply with the orders of this Court and 

the Bankruptcy Court directing that discovery in this action and in the Adversaries be 

coordinated, and the parties to the Adversaries will seek discovery schedules which comport 

with the below;
