MOTION STATUS 

 Pursuant to the parties’ previous Stipulations and the Orders of the Court, discovery on 

behalf of the plaintiffs has been continuing. The defendants intend to submit an Amended 

Motion To Compel Arbitration that: a) updates the legal analysis in the previously-filed Motion 

in light of recent case decisions; and b) applies the legal analysis to the newly-consolidated 

Plaintiffs. In support of the Amended Motion, Defendants also intend to submit a Second 

Supplemental Declaration of Neal Berinhout correcting and providing updated information to his 

previously submitted Declarations. No other additional evidence or declaration will be 

submitted by the defendants with the Amended Motion. Defendants reserve the right to submit 

additional evidence, as needed, with their reply in accordance with applicable law. Plaintiffs do 

not object to this procedure. 

 Defendants shall submit these pleadings on or before February 13, 2008. Plaintiffs will 

submit their response to the defendants’ Motion to Compel Arbitration by March 14th, 2008. 

Thereafter, defendants shall have ten days in which to notify the plaintiffs of their intent to seek 

discovery based upon the plaintiffs’ submittals. If the defendants do not request discovery, their 

reply to the plaintiffs’ response will be due by March 24, 2008. If the defendants request 

discovery, the parties will meet and confer regarding the defendants’ discovery requests. 

Defendants discovery will be completed within sixty days after the meet-and-confer is completed 

with the understanding that plaintiffs will cooperate with the scheduling of discovery. For 

purposes of the discovery contemplated by this Stipulation, Plaintiffs agree that the deadlines for 

responding to discovery in FRCP 33, 34 and 36 will be 20 days rather than 30 days. Plaintiffs 

further represent that they will make any third-party declarants available for deposition in a 

timely manner, and will produce documents to Defendants in advance of those depositions as
