time to raise any discovery disputes about that discovery is December 16, 2015;

5

complete its privilege review (see ECF No. 186);

6

WHEREAS, Plaintiffs provided initial discovery responses to certain interrogatories and

7

supplemental responses to other, prior interrogatories on December 9, 2015, and, following the

9

interrogatories in light of the foregoing extensions and other discussions;

WHEREAS, the amount of fact discovery exchanged in the litigation has been particularly
voluminous, both in terms of millions of pages of documents and dozens of depositions;
WHEREAS, Ford and Plaintiffs have been working together cooperatively to complete

13

the fact discovery process in this litigation, and Ford and Plaintiffs have resolved nearly all

14

discovery issues without need for this Court’s intervention;
