Pursuant to L.R. 6-2 and 7-12, Plaintiffs Rick Delagarza, Paul Gutierrez, Sal Lucido, April Moore, Charles Grimmett, Antonio Garcia, and Brian Cashwell, and Defendant Tesoro Refining and Marketing Company ("Tesoro") (collectively, "the Parties"), by and through their undersigned counsel, hereby stipulate as follows: WHEREAS, at the Case Management Conference on March 7, 2011, the Court ordered counsel to meet and confer regarding outstanding discovery; WHEREAS, counsel met and conferred on March 7, 2011 and continuing thereafter and, on March 11, 2011, reached agreement regarding the scope of production of additional documents; WHEREAS, Tesoro produced additional documents to Plaintiffs' counsel on March 16 and 18, 2011, and intends to produce additional documents by March 22, 2011; WHEREAS, Plaintiffs have not yet received the documents produced on March 18 or 22 and they believe that they will need at least 10 days, from the date of receipt, to be able to review the additional documents produced by Tesoro and incorporate them into their class certification motion, which is currently scheduled to be filed on March 28, 2011; WHEREAS, because many of the additional documents that have or will be produced by Tesoro may be subject to the stipulated protective order that has been entered in this case (Dkt. 81), as well as the Court's Order modifying the stipulated protective order (Dkt. 81-1), Plaintiffs will need an additional 10 days to meet and confer with Tesoro regarding the documents that should be filed under seal and to prepare and file, pursuant to L.R. 79-5 and 7-11, an administrative motion to file documents under seal; WHEREAS, Tesoro intends to seek the depositions of individuals from whom Plaintiffs submit declarations in support of their motion for class certification--whose identities are not yet known to Tesoro--and because Plaintiffs have indicated they are likely to file approximately 15 such declarations, Tesoro believes it needs additional time to conduct such depositions before filing its opposition; WHEREAS, Tesoro has not yet had the opportunity to conduct the depositions of Antonio Garcia and Brian Cashwell, new plaintiffs added to the lawsuit pursuant to the third and fourth amended complaints; and WHEREAS, there have been four other time modifications in this case and the time modification to which the Parties stipulate herein will not adversely affect the schedule for the case.
