STIPULATED REQUEST AND [PROPOSED] ORDER MODIFYING CASE MANAGEMENT SCHEDULE 

CASE NO. 3:08-CV-05221-SI 

The undersigned counsel, on behalf of Plaintiffs Charles Ridgeway, Jaime Famoso, Joshua 

Harold, Richard Byers, Dan Thatcher, Nino Pagtama, Willie Franklin, Tim Opitz, Farris Day, Karl

WHEREAS the parties have worked diligently to resolve discovery and deposition issues in 

the timing provided by that Order; 

WHEREAS Plaintiffs’ counsel are currently in the midst of a three month class action trial in 

another lawsuit that will affect the parties’ ability to complete agreed upon discovery and depositions 

as scheduled, particularly given the time constraints of the coming retail blackout holiday period 

where many Wal-Mart employees will be unavailable because of business constraints; and 

WHEREAS the parties believe they have identified the remaining discovery to be completed 

and believe the new deadlines will allow an orderly completion of the same. 

STIPULATION

following changes to the existing schedule:

knowledge of the facts set forth below. 

2. The parties had previously sought an extension of the deadlines entered in the

The parties have engaged in substantial written discovery and are in the process of scheduling 

depositions.

three months. The demands of trial on my firm’s resources and personnel will affect the parties’ 

ability to complete agreed upon discovery and depositions as scheduled.
