SERVICE CORPORATION INTERNATIONAL, et al., Defendants. / CLAUDE BRYANT, et al., Plaintiffs, No. C 08-01190 SI ORDER CONTINUING HEARING AND BRIEFING SCHEDULE ON PLAINTIFFS' MOTION FOR CLASS CERTIFICATION IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA Plaintiffs' motion for class certification was filed on June 18, 2010. In accordance with the schedule agreed upon at the June 4, 2010, defendants' opposition to the motion is due to be filed on July 2, and the motion is scheduled for oral argument on July 30. Defendants have filed a request to continue the hearing date on plaintiffs' motion to October 1 and to extend the briefing schedule accordingly. Defendants assert that they require additional time to prepare an adequate response to plaintiffs' extremely voluminous filing and to conduct additional discovery on claims raised in plaintiff's motion that were not included in the most recent version of the complaint. In view of the defendants' representation that they are unable to prepare an opposition by June 25, the Court will grant a short extension of the briefing and hearing schedule. To the extent plaintiffs have raised claims in their certification motion that were not included in their complaint, defendants may argue this point in their opposition and/or make a motion to strike. The briefing and hearing schedule on plaintiffs' motion for class certification is hereby continued as follows: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 United States District Court For the Northern District of California 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 Defendants' Opposition: Plaintiffs' Reply: Hearing: July 23, 2010 July 30, 2010 August 13, 2010 IT IS SO ORDERED.
