I am a partner in the law firm of Wagner, Jones, Kopfman, & Artenian LLP. I am

counsel of record for Plaintiffs in this action. I submit this Declaration in support of the parties’ joint

The parties had previously sought an extension of the deadlines entered in the

Court’s Pretrial Preparation Order (Dkt. No. 174). The Court then entered its Second Pretrial
Preparation Order (Dkt. No. 213).
3.

The parties have worked diligently to resolve discovery and depositions issues.

The parties have engaged in substantial written discovery and are in the process of scheduling
depositions.
4.

My firm is lead counsel in the trial of Cortina et al. v North American Title

Company and North American Services LLC, Case No. 07 CE CG 01169 JH, a class action in Fresno
County Superior Court, which began on September 21, 2015, and is anticipated to last approximately
three months. The demands of trial on my firm’s resources and personnel will affect the parties’
ability to complete agreed upon discovery and depositions as scheduled.
I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true
and correct.
