AMENDED ORDER 1 Plaintiffs Joseph Roling and Alexander Landvater (collectively “Plaintiffs”), and 2 Defendant E*TRADE Securities, LLC (“E*TRADE”) (Plaintiffs and E*TRADE are collectively 3 referred to as the “Parties”), pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 6 and L.R. 7-12, hereby stipulate and 4 agree to extend the class discovery deadline by sixty (60) days, and modify the Discovery Plan. 5 (Dkt. No. 69.) In support of their Stipulation, the Parties state as follows: 6 7 1. lawsuit against E*Trade Securities LLC on February 3, 2010. (Dkt. No. 1.) 8 9 10 Plaintiffs Joseph Roling and Alexander Landvater filed this putative class action 2. As set forth in the Revised Discovery Plan, which was approved by the Court on February 2, 2011, discovery in this matter has been bifurcated into class and merits phases, with class discovery closing on November 1, 2011. (Dkt. No. 69.) 11 3. Good cause exists to extend the class discovery period by sixty (60) days. This 12 case concerns a putative class that is potentially comprised of millions customers. As such, the 13 Parties have exchanged thousands of documents relating to customer contracts and agreements 14 dating back to 2001, and are still in the process of producing relevant documents. Additionally, 15 several depositions still need to be taken, and Plaintiffs just received on Friday, October 14, firm 16 dates for certain Rule 30(b)(6) witnesses of E*Trade. 17 4. Extending the discovery cut-off date by sixty (60) days will allow the Parties to 18 finish taking depositions, and also to issue any follow up discovery that may be necessary after 19 the depositions have been taken. 20 5. The district court is given broad discretion in supervising the pretrial phase of 21 litigation.” Zivkovic v. Southern California Edison Co., 302 F.3d 1080, 1087 (9th Cir. 2002). The 22 court may modify the discovery deadline only for good cause. Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b)(4); Zivkovic, 23 302 F.3d at 1087. Good cause to extend a deadline exists when the deadline “cannot reasonably 24 be met despite the diligence of the party seeking the extension.” Fed. R. Civ. P 16 Advisory 25 Comm. Notes (1983 Am.); Johnson v. Mammoth Recreations, Inc., 975 F.2d 604, 607 (9th Cir. 26 1992). 27 28 6. The Parties have been diligently engaged in discovery in this matter, and the STIPULATION TO EXTEND DISCOVERY DEADLINES 2 CASE NO. 3:10-CV-00488-EMC 1 requested extension will not prejudice either party. The Parties do not anticipate any future 2 extensions or modification of the Discovery Plan currently in place. 3 7. 4 purposes of delay. 5 This Stipulation, and the requested extension sought herein, is not brought for the NOW THEREFORE, the Parties hereby, STIPULATE and AGREE, subject to Court 6 approval, that the Court extend the class discovery deadline by sixty (60) days, and modify the 7 Discovery Plan as follows: 8 a. b.
