MEMORANDUM IN SUPPORT 

The Docket Text and Notation Order entered in this case on March 28, 2018 sets the 

deadline for Pre-Class Certification Discovery on June 15, 2018 and the deadline for Plaintiff’s 

Motion for Class Certification to be filed on July 16, 2018. The parties have been engaged in 

ongoing discussions regarding document production for settlement negotiations. 

These discussions have delayed facilitation of necessary Pre-Class Certification Discovery. 

Consequently, Defendants respectfully request that the Court continue the pre-certification 

discovery deadline to June 29, 2018 and the deadline for filing a motion for class certification to 

July 30, 2018. 

The relief sought in this Motion is requested for good cause as set forth above and not for 

the purpose of delay. This motion is filed jointly by all parties to the action. 

WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Raul Kopaleishvili, Defendant Uzbek Logistics, Inc. and 

Defendant Uzbek Transport Express, LLC, respectfully request that the Court continue the PreCertification Discovery deadline and the deadline for Plaintiff to file his Motion for Class 

Certification to June 29, 2018 and July 30, 2018 respectively.
