STIPULATION Plaintiffs Joe Lewis Luque and Herman Richardson and defendants AT&T Corp., Pacific Bell Telephone Company, and AT&T Communications of California, Inc., acting through their counsel of record, hereby stipulate as follows: 1. The hearing on plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification is set for August 27, 2010.

The case management conference in this action currently is scheduled for that same date. 2. On the parties' stipulation, the Court continued the hearing on plaintiffs' motion for

conditional certification from June 25, 2010 to August 27, 2010, to permit pre-conditional certification discovery. The parties have been diligently conducting discovery but have been unable to complete depositions by the agreed-upon date of July 20, 2010, so that the deposition testimony may be incorporated into defendants' opposition brief, which is currently due on July 30, 2010. 3. Accordingly, the parties believe it would serve the interests of convenience and judicial

economy if the hearing on the motion for conditional certification and the case management conference were continued until September 24, 2010. Defendants' deadline for filing an opposition to plaintiffs' motion will be August 27, 2010, and plaintiffs' reply will be due on September 10, 2010. The parties will complete the depositions previously ordered by this Court by August 20, 2010, so that the deposition testimony may be relied upon by defendants in their opposition brief. 4. A further postponement of the hearing on plaintiffs' motion for conditional certification

and the case management conference will not affect the overall schedule in the case as the parties will proceed with pre-certification discovery and continue briefing on plaintiffs' motion in advance of the September 24 hearing. /// /// /// /// /// /// ///
