Williams, Ramon Hurtado, Elaheh Salehi, Shannon Betts, Lisa Ladner, and Caren Winegarner

5

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

6

of record, hereby stipulate, and respectfully request, that the Court grant a two-month extension of

7

discovery and all related deadlines for all related cases that do not currently have a trial date.

8

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

9

1.

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

10

set April 28, 2017, for the close of discovery for all related cases, and October 23, 2017, as the trial date

11

for Bruce Kaufman v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:14-CV-01961 JAM-EFB; Chris Gonzalez v. Rite Aid Corp.,

12

No. 2:14-CV-01963 JAM-EFB; and Kathryn Van Kopp v. Rite Aid Corp., No. 2:14-CV-01965 JAM-

13

EFB. June 9, 2016 Order, at 5, 8. No other trial dates have been set.

14

2.

On March 21, 2017, the parties filed a joint stipulation to extend discovery and related

15

deadlines in those cases without trial dates. On March 22, 2017, the Court granted that stipulation and

16

entered an order (ECF 51) extending the close of discovery from April 28, 2017, to July 28, 2017; the

17

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

18

dispositive motions from August 8, 2017, to November 7, 2017. This is the only discovery extension

19

previously sought or granted in these matters.

20
21
22

3.

The parties do not seek a discovery extension for Kaufman, Gonzalez or Van Kopp (i.e.,

the cases in which a trial date has been set). This stipulation will not therefore delay trial.
4.

The parties and their undersigned counsel currently are preparing for the Kaufman,

23

Gonzalez, and Van Kopp trials scheduled for this year. The parties are also actively engaged in

24

completing discovery for the 14 other matters not scheduled for trial. The parties have diligently

25

pursued discovery in these matters, have taken numerous depositions, have served and responded to

26

written discovery, and have produced thousands of documents. The parties are attempting to complete

27

all remaining depositions as expeditiously as possible, and have exchanged deposition dates for tens of

28

depositions in the next two months.

5.

In order to complete the many depositions needed in these related cases, and to

2

accommodate the calendars and travel schedules of parties and their counsel, as well as third party

3

witnesses, the parties therefore agree and respectfully request that the Court extend the discovery

4
