Marcallino, Bryce Williams, Elaheh Salehi, Shannon Betts, Lisa Ladner, Caren Winegarner, and Larry

Jones (“Plaintiffs”) and defendant Rite Aid Corporation (“Rite Aid”), acting through their respective

5

counsel of record, hereby stipulate, and respectfully request, that the Court grant a three-month

6

extension of discovery and all related deadlines for all related cases, with the exception of Larry Jones v.

7

Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:17-cv-01527 JAM-EFB.*

8

In support of their request, the parties stipulate as follows:

9

1.

The parties are in active negotiations to resolve the remaining related cases before the

10

Court and seek this extension to facilitate those negotiations, and to provide for adequate time to

11

complete discovery should those negotiations prove unsuccessful. None of the remaining cases before

12

the Court has a current trial date and, accordingly, the requested extensions will not delay trial.

13

2.

On June 9, 2016, this Court entered a scheduling order (Kaufman ECF 46).

The

14

scheduling order set April 28, 2017, for the close of discovery for all then-related cases, and October 23,

15

2017, as the trial date for Bruce Kaufman v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:14-CV-01961 JAM-EFB; Chris

16

Gonzalez v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:14-CV-01963 JAM-EFB; Kathryn Van Kopp v. Rite Aid Corp., No.

17

2:14-CV-01965 JAM-EFB; and Rachel Chavez v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:14-cv-1957 JAM-EFB.

18

(Kaufman ECF 46 at 5, 8-10.). No other trial dates have been set. Since then, the Von Kopp and Chavez

19

matters have been dismissed with prejudice pursuant to stipulation (Von Kopp ECF 65, Chavez ECF 55).

20

On September 7, 2017, the parties filed a Notice of Resolution providing that the remaining two cases

21

set for trial, Kaufman and Gonzalez, also have been resolved. In response, on that date, the Court

22

entered minute orders in Kaufman and Gonzalez vacating hearing dates (Kaufman ECF 64, Gonzalez

23

ECF 63).

The matter Larry Jones v. Rite Aid Corp., U.S.D.C., E.D. Cal., No. 2:17-cv-01527 JAM-EFB,
was first removed to this Court on July 24, 2017 (Jones ECF 1), and related to the other Rite Aid Store
Manager cases pending before this Court on July 26, 2017 (Jones ECF 6). Jones, therefore, was not
contemplated in any of the Court’s prior scheduling orders; the only discovery deadline entered in Jones
(in a July 24, 2017, order prior to its relation to the other cases before this Court), was July 25, 2018, for
non-expert discovery, with corresponding expert disclosure and discovery deadlines following July 25,
2018 (Jones ECF 4, p. 2). The parties do not seek to adjust the deadlines in Jones with this stipulation.

LEGAL_US_W # 91427064.4

1

3.

The parties have filed, and the Court has granted, two prior stipulations for extensions for

2

discovery and related deadlines, which have enabled the parties to make substantial progress both in

3

discovery and in resolving these matters. Neither extension impacted any scheduled trial dates.

4

4.

On March 22, 2017, the Court granted the parties’ stipulation to extend discovery and

5

related deadlines and entered an order extending the close of discovery from April 28, 2017, to July 28,

6

2017; the deadline for dispositive motions from July 11, 2017, to October 10, 2017; and the hearing date

7

for dispositive motions from August 8, 2017, to November 7, 2017. (Kaufman ECF 51.)

8

5.

On June 15, 2017, the Court granted the parties’ second stipulation and entered an order

9

extending the close of discovery from July 28, 2017, to September 29, 2017; the deadline for dispositive

10

motions from October 10, 2017, to December 8, 2017; and the hearing date for dispositive motions from

11

November 7, 2017, to January 9, 2018. (Kaufman ECF 55.)

12

6.

The parties have diligently pursued discovery in the related cases before the Court (many

13

of which have been dismissed pursuant to stipulation), including numerous depositions, written

14

discovery, and substantial document production.

15

7.

The parties therefore agree and respectfully request that in the following 11 actions:

16



Keith Welday v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:13-CV-02439 JAM-EFB;

17



Mark Jaeger v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:14-CV-01960 JAM-EFB;
