See Dkt. No. 297; 8 WHEREAS, this Court adopted CMO 4 with modification. See Dkt. No. 300. 9 WHEREAS, following further progress in the litigation, the Parties submitted a revised CMO 10 #4 that included specific deadlines for periods of Tranche 1 discovery and litigation. See Dkt. No. 11 304 at pg. 6. 12 WHEREAS, per the revised CMO #4, discovery for Tranche 1 closes on November 12, 2018 13 and the Parties have been working to schedule numerous Tranche 1 depositions. The Parties 14 recognize and agree that these depositions will require the investment of significant time and 15 resources by all Parties. 16 WHEREAS, the Parties have also continued to negotiate regarding a potential resolution of 17 this action and Boconvi v. TFI International Inc. et al. (Case No.: 3:17-cv-02623-JST), which is 18 currently on appeal. 19 WHEREAS, the Parties have agreed to return to mediation and, indeed, scheduled a 20 mediation on September 18, 2018 with Mark Rudy, a noted class action mediator who previously 21 mediated between the parties. 22 WHEREAS, all Parties recognize that the substantial costs associated with dozens of further 23 depositions are likely to reduce the prospects of a successful mediation and, further, that the logistics 24 related to scheduling a significant number of further depositions will limit the Parties’ abilities to 25 simultaneously commit sufficient resources to mediating the case. 26 27 28 LITTLER MENDELSON, P.C. 333 Bush Street 34th Floor San Francisco, CA 94104 415.433.1940 1 On August 10, 2018 the Parties filed a stipulation to amend the case caption to account for a number of corporate renaming and conversion processes that occurred with Defendants. See DKT No. 317. Pending the Court’s approval of that stipulation, Defendants submit this stipulation under the names of the current case caption. STIP TO EXTEND CMO DEADLINES 1. Case No. 3:12-cv-05790-JST 1 ACCORDINGLY, the Parties request a short extension to the deadlines of CMO #4 in order 2 to permit the parties to mediate and, with hope, resolve the claims in this action and the related 3 Boconvi case.
