STIPULATION
WHEREAS discovery closed in this case on December 8, 2011, as set forth in the
Stipulation and Order Modifying Pretrial Schedule for “Track One” Direct Action Plaintiff and
State Attorney General Actions (Dkt. No. 3110, the “Scheduling Order”), and the parties
previously submitted a stipulation to the Court extending the deadline for Defendants to file
motions to compel as to certain discovery to January 13, 2012;
WHEREAS the Court previously entered a Stipulation and Proposed Order extending the
close of fact discovery set forth in the Scheduling Order for the limited purpose of extending the
deadline for Best Buy and certain other Direct Action Plaintiffs in Track One to respond to
discovery requests served by defendants between October 31 and November 4, 2011, as well as
negotiating the proper scope of those responses;
WHEREAS Best Buy and Stipulating Defendants are currently meeting and conferring
concerning various issues related to: (1) Best Buy’s responses to the Stipulating Defendants’
written discovery served by Best Buy on or before December 2, 2011; (2) Best Buy’s production
of documents and responses to transactional data questions; and (3) the depositions of certain
Best Buy employees or former employees that Defendants intend to conduct (collectively, “Best
Buy’s Discovery Responses”).
WHEREAS Best Buy and Stipulating Defendants hope to resolve some or all of these
issues informally, without the need to file motions to compel and seek the Court’s involvement;
WHEREAS the current deadline for parties to file motions to compel with respect to Best
Buy’s Discovery Responses or Defendants’ Discovery Responses is January 13, 2012; and
WHEREAS in an effort to facilitate the informal resolution of any disputes, the parties
wish to extend the deadline for Defendants to file any motions to compel with respect to Best
Buy’s Discovery Responses through January 27, 2012;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, through their undersigned respective counsel, stipulate
and agree as follows:
