Pursuant to Local Rules 6 and 7, Plaintiffs and Defendants Tempur-Sealy International,

2

Inc. and Tempur-pedic North America, LLC (collectively, “Defendants”, and, together with

3

Plaintiffs, the “Parties”), hereby stipulate and agree to the following modification of the

4
December 15, 2014 Scheduling Order:
5

7

I.

BACKGROUND
1.

Plaintiffs filed the original Complaint on October 25, 2013. Plaintiffs filed the

8

First Amended Complaint on November 7, 2013 and the Second Amended Complaint on August

9

29, 2014. (Doc. 63). Adams Dec. ¶ 3.

10
11

2.

On October 17 and December 15, 2014, the Parties filed a Joint Motion and

Stipulation to Modify the Scheduling Order, and pursuant thereto, the Parties stipulated and

12
agreed to certain modified deadlines.
13
14

3.

Document production from third parties is more voluminous than anticipated.

15

Both parties recognize that their expert witnesses need additional time to review and analyze

16

third party produced documents before the class certification motion, expert declaration and/or

17

reports, and expert depositions occur. Adams Dec. ¶ 4.

18
19

4.

Both parties agree to extend certain deadlines contained in the December 15, 2014

Scheduling Order, for a period of up to thirty (30) days. Adams Dec. ¶ 8.

20
21
22

5.

Counsel for the Plaintiffs and Defendants have stipulated and agreed, subject to

the Court’s approval, of the following modified deadlines that will, at most, extend the current

23

outstanding deadlines by a period of thirty (30) days, but in the event that counsel for the

24

Plaintiffs does not need the full thirty (30) days, would largely keep this matter on the current

25

schedule set by this Court.

26

6.

The modification of the December 15, 2014 Scheduling Order will benefit all

27
Parties because it will enable the Parties and their experts to thoroughly develop and complete
