agree as follows:
WHEREAS, on March 29, 2019, this Court granted in part and denied in part Plaintiff’s
Motion for Class Certification (Dkt. 216);
WHEREAS, on October 15, 2020, Defendants moved to decertify the Multi-State Express

WHEREAS, the deadline for Plaintiff to file her opposition to Defendants’ Motion to

Decertify is on or before November 5, 2020;
WHEREAS, the hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Decertify is currently scheduled for
November 12, 2020;
WHEREAS, during this same time period, Plaintiff’s counsel is simultaneously working on
a reply in further support of plaintiff’s motion for class certification, oppositions to Daubert
motions, and conducting expert depositions in a similar matter regarding Benecol spreads

which is currently due on November 6, 2020;
