UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS

EASTERN DIVISION

GETTEN CREDIT COMPANY,

individually and on behalf of all others

similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

v.

FAIR ISAAC CORPORATION,

Defendant.

Civil Action No. 20-cv-02651

Honorable Ronald A. Guzman

JOINT MOTION TO EXTEND DEADLINES

Plaintiff Getten Credit Company and Defendant Fair Isaac Corporation, through

their undersigned counsel, jointly move to extend by 45 days: (a) the deadline for

Defendant to answer the complaint and (b) the deadlines set by the Court in its May 15,

2020 Order, pending resolution of a Motion to Reassign this and other cases as related

to Fair Isaac Corporation v. Trans Union, LLC, Case No. 17-cv-08318, proceeding

before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman. In support of their joint motion, the

Parties state as follows:

1. Plaintiffs filed their Complaint on May 1, 2020. See ECF No. 1.

2. Defendant executed a waiver of service and the deadline for Defendant

to answer or otherwise plead is June 30, 2020. See ECF No. 15.

3. On May 15, 2020, the Court entered an order requiring the parties to,

within 45 days of the filing of the complaint or within 14 days of its order if the 45-day

time period had already elapsed, confer to discuss the nature and basis of their claims

and defenses and the possibilities for a prompt settlement or resolution of the case. The

Case: 1:20-cv-02651 Document #: 18 Filed: 06/02/20 Page 1 of 4 PageID #:73
Parties are also required to discuss deadlines for Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures and a

proposed discovery plan. ECF No. 16.

4. The May 15, 2020 Order requires the Parties to also provide the court

with a written initial status report and proposed discovery plan within 7 days of their

meet and confer regarding the above matters. See ECF No. 16.

5. The applicable deadline for the Parties to confer is June 15, 2020, fortyfive (45) days after the filing of the complaint. Based on that date, the deadline for

providing the court with a written initial status report is June 22, 2020.

6. Meanwhile, there is a Motion to Reassign this and other cases as related

to Fair Isaac Corporation v. Trans Union, LLC, Case No. 17-cv-08318 (N.D. Ill.)

(“Trans Union”), pending before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman. See ECF

No. 198 (Motion to Reassign filed May 4, 2020).

7. Responses to the Motion to Reassign cases as related to Trans Union are

due on June 2, 2020 and Replies are due on June 16, 2020. A Status hearing is set in

Trans Union for June 30, 2020 at 9:00 a.m. See Trans Union, ECF No. 202.

8. The parties agree that this action is related to the others included in the

Motion to Reassign now pending before Judge Coleman, and that all such cases should

be reassigned to one District Judge. There is a dispute, however, as to whether the

cases should be reassigned to Judge Coleman, who is currently presiding over the Trans

Union case, or to Judge Chang, who is currently presiding over the Sky Federal case.

Thus, the parties are in agreement that no matter the outcome of the Motion to Reassign,

this case should be reassigned to another District Judge and consolidated with other

similar cases for further proceedings.

9. Therefore, in the interest of efficiency, the Parties request the Court to

extend by 45 days: (a) the deadline for Defendant to answer the complaint, and (b) the

Case: 1:20-cv-02651 Document #: 18 Filed: 06/02/20 Page 2 of 4 PageID #:74
deadlines set by the Court in its May 15, 2020 Order, pending resolution of the Motion

to Reassign this and other cases as related to Trans Union. If the Motion to Reassign

has not yet been resolved at the conclusion of the 45-day extension sought herein, the

Parties will promptly advise the Court by filing a joint status report and proposing

further deadlines or extensions as may be appropriate.

CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, Plaintiff respectfully request that this Court issue an

order extending the deadlines in this case by 45 days pending a decision on the Motion

to Reassign in Trans Union.

Dated: June 2, 2020 Respectfully submitted,
