No. C -11-01320-EDL
v.
SLM CORPORATION,
Defendant.

Pending before the Court are (1) Defendants’ Motion to Continue Class Certification
15
Briefing Schedule (Dkt. 138); and (2) Plaintiffs’ Motion for Shortened Schedule (Dkt. 142).
16
17
For good cause shown, the Court GRANTS Defendants’ motion and sets the following
schedule:
18
Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class
19
Certification
20
Defendants’ Opposition to Motion for
21
Class Certification
22
Plaintiffs’ Reply
No later than December 10, 2013
23
Hearing on Motion to Certify Class
January 7, 2014
No later than October 22, 2013
No later than November 19, 2013
24
In the Motion for Shortened Schedule, Plaintiffs seek an expedited briefing schedule and
25
decision on their motion to compel. Plaintiffs argue that the motion to compel should be decided
26
quickly so that if the Court grants the motion, Plaintiffs can receive Defendants’ discovery responses
27
at a meaningful time prior to the August 20, 2013, deadline to file for class certification.
28
Because the Court has continued the class certification deadlines, Plaintiffs’ concern about
timing is moot. The Court therefore DENIES Plaintiffs’ Motion for Shortened Time. The matter
1
will be briefed according to Local Rule 7-3, and the motion to compel will be heard on July 23,
2
2013. Should the Court grant the motion to compel, Plaintiffs will have ample time to receive
3
Defendants’ discovery responses before the October 22, 2013 deadline to file for class certification.
