1.

Per the Court's June 4, 2010 Order, the deadline for Plaintiff to file a Motion for

Class Certification is currently September 30, 2010. 2. On August 3, 2010, Plaintiff filed a letter brief asking the Court to compel

production of a single category of documents ("the Motion to Compel"). Plaintiff filed the Motion to Compel after engaging in a three week long effort to meet and confer to resolve the issues raised therein. 3. On August 5, 2010, the parties received notice from the court that the discovery

dispute would be referred to a magistrate judge for handling. On August 10, 2010, the parties received notice that the matter had been referred to magistrate Judge Edward Chen and the matter was scheduled for hearing on September 22, 2010. 4. Plaintiff contends that the documents sought by her Motion to Compel are

necessary for Plaintiff to prepare a meaningful and fully informed brief in support of Class Certification. Without expressing any position as to the merits of the Motion, in the event it is granted, it is doubtful that Plaintiff will receive the responsive documents in sufficient time to analyze them and incorporate the information into her Motion for Class Certification, which is currently due to be filed on September 30, 2010. 5. The parties are scheduled to conduct a mediation on October 28, 2010. Due to the mediator's schedule, an earlier date could not be secured. An extension of the class certification filing deadline to November will avoid an unnecessary motion if the case settles at mediation. /// /// ///
