Plaintiffs,

Defendant.

/

17

Plaintiffs’ supplemental brief filed on February 18, 2013, asserts for the first time that their claim

18

under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, 15 U.S.C. §§ 1691-1691f, is not time-barred because, inter alia,

19

the statute of limitations was equitably tolled. The Court directs plaintiffs to file by noon on February

20

21, 2013, an offer of proof regarding plaintiffs’ allegations of equitable tolling. Plaintiffs shall also

21

identify any legal authority holding that ECOA’s statute of limitations may be equitably tolled.

22

The parties shall be prepared to address equitable tolling at the February 22, 2013 hearing.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
