AMENDMENT TO AND
[PROPOSED] ORDER REGARDING
STIPULATION AND ORDER
CONTINUING STAY OF
PROCEEDINGS AND MODIFYING
CASE SCHEDULE ENTERED ON
JUNE 1, 2015

1

Plaintiff Beverly Nunes (“Plaintiff”) and Defendant Twitter, Inc. (“Twitter”) (collective-

2

ly, “the Parties”) hereby request an amendment to the Stipulation and Order Continuing Stay of

3

Proceedings and Modifying Case Schedule entered by the Court on June 1, 2015 (Dkt. 56) (the

4

“June 1 Stipulation and Order”), to extend by two weeks all dates set forth therein.

5

In support of their stipulated request, the Parties state as follows:

6

1.

The June 1 Stipulation and Order was based in part on the pendency of multiple

7

petitions before the FCC seeking rulings on issues pertaining to the Telephone Consumer Protec-

8

tion Act – the statute at issue in this action. FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler had announced on

9

May 27, 2015 that he had circulated a proposal to address those petitions, and that a vote on the

10
11

proposal would take place on June 18, 2015.
2.

The June 1 Stipulation and Order contemplates that Twitter may file a motion to

12

continue the stay in light of several pending proceedings including the FCC’s, and sets a briefing

13

schedule for that motion. At the time the June 1 Stipulation and Order was filed, the Parties an-

14

ticipated that the FCC’s TCPA ruling would be made public on or shortly after the June 18, 2015

15

vote. To date, however, although the FCC did vote on June 18, 2015, the text of the new TCPA

16

ruling has not yet been made public.

17

3.

Twitter would like the opportunity to review and consider the full content of the

18

FCC’s new TCPA ruling before deciding whether to file a motion to continue the stay. However,

19

under the current schedule set forth in the June 1 Stipulation and Order, any motion by Twitter to

20

further extend the stay past September 3, 2015 must be filed by July 8, 2015, with any opposition

21

due by July 29, 2015, and Twitter’s reply due by August 5, 2015.

22
23

THE PARTIES THEREFORE STIPULATE to amend the June 1 Stipulation and Order
through their undersigned counsel, subject to the Court’s approval, as follows:

24

1.

25

17, 2015.

26

2.

27
28

The stay of all proceedings in the matter should be continued through September

The existing case schedule should be modified as follows: Phase I Discovery

shall be completed by January 13, 2015; Initial Expert Witness statements shall be submitted by

3.

If Twitter wishes to seek further extension of the current stay past September 17,

4

2015, it may file a motion seeking such relief during the pendency of the stay. Any motion by

5

Twitter to further continue the stay shall be due by July 22, 2015; any opposition by Plaintiff

6

shall be due by August 12, 2015; Twitter’s reply shall be due by August 19, 2015; and the matter

7

will be set for hearing on a date on or after September 4, 2015, to be determined by the Court.
