STIPULATION RE
JOINT PROPOSED BRIEFING
SCHEDULE FOR
CLASS CERTIFICATION
(REVISED)
20
21
Pursuant to the Civil Local Rule 6-2, the parties respectfully submit this Stipulation
22
re Revised Joint Proposed Briefing Schedule for Class Certification which modifies the
23
Court’s previous Order re Revised Joint Briefing Schedule for Class Certification (Doc.
24
60). As set forth in the accompanying Declaration of Stephen Gardner, the parties have
25
engaged in mediation of this action, and continue to work with Martin Quinn, Esq. of
26
JAMS. Mr. Quinn underwent surgery in July, and as a consequence was unavailable until

early August. In the interim, the parties made positive progress on key issues in dispute
2
and major milestones in the settlement have been reached. Now that Mr. Quinn has
3
returned, discussions are on track, and the parties wish to continue working together

toward a positive and mutually agreeable resolution. Thus, the parties propose
postponing class certification briefing in order to continue refining and finalizing the
terms of a potential settlement agreement. The agreed proposed briefing schedule set
forth in this Stipulation will provide the parties sufficient time to continue mediation in
good faith without the complication and imposition of immediate scheduling obligations
in this action.
1.
Class Certification. Plaintiffs’ class certification motion pursuant to Federal
12
Rule of Civil Procedure 23 shall be filed with an opening brief on or before October 16,
13
2012. Defendant’s opposition brief shall be filed no later than 45 days after filing of the
14
motion. Plaintiffs’ reply brief shall be filed no later than 45 days after filing of the

opposition brief. After the Court rules on class certification, the parties will submit
proposed dates for merits discovery, dispositive motions, and trial.
2.
Hearing on Class Certification. Hearing on the class certification motion
will be set for February 14, 2013, at 1:30 p.m.
3.
Experts and Discovery. As required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(2), reports from
21
experts retained relating to class certification are due from the plaintiffs by October 16,
22
2012, and from defendant by November 30, 2012. Reports from rebuttal experts retained
23
relating to class certification are due by January 14, 2013. The parties will serve all
24
discovery requests relating to class certification so as to be completed by January 14, 2013.
25
However, for good cause shown, a party may conduct class discovery solely relating to
26
rebuttal expert reports after January 14, 2013.
