STIPULATION AND ORDER RE BRIEFING SCHEDULE AND HEARING ON MTD FAC

1

Plaintiff the Republican National Committee (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Google

2

LLC (“Defendant”) (collectively, the “Parties”), by and through their undersigned

3

counsel, stipulate as follows:

4
5
6
7
8

1.

The RNC filed its Verified First Amended Complaint [Dkt. No. 58] on

October 10, 2023;
2.

On November 16, 2023, Defendant filed its Motion to Dismiss Plaintiff’s

First Amended Complaint [Dkt. No. 60] (the “Motion”);
3.

The hearing on the Motion is currently noticed for January 18, 2024 at

1:30 p.m. [Dkt. No. 60];
4.

Under the default schedule established by this Court’s local rules for civil

11

cases, Plaintiff’s brief in opposition to the Motion is currently due on or before

12

November 30, 2023, and Defendant’s reply brief in support of the Motion is currently

13

due on or before December 11, 2023;

14

5.

Due to the complexity of the issues, multiple upcoming holidays, family

15

travel, and the press of other business, good cause exists to extend the briefing

16

schedule and continue the hearing date;

17

6.

The Parties have worked with the Court’s deputy to determine that March

18

14, 2023 is a mutually-agreeable date for the Parties and the Court for oral argument

19

on the Motion;

20

7.

This Court’s Standing Order in Civil Cases requires stipulations to include

21

“the discovery cut-off date, last date for hearing motions, pre-trial conference date,

22

and trial date,” but these dates have not yet been established in this case as the case is

23

still at the pleading stage;

24
25
26
27

8.

There have been no prior extensions requested by the Parties on the

briefing schedule or hearing on this Motion;
9.

The Parties agree that neither party will suffer any prejudice if the Court

grants the relief requested herein;
