1
Plaintiff, Dennis M. Lorenz (“Plaintiff”), and Defendants, Safeway Inc. (“Safeway”) and
2
Safeway Benefit Plans Committee (“Benefit Plans Committee”), collectively (“Defendants”),
3
through their counsel, hereby stipulate and agree that:
4
5
WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a complaint against Defendants and Great-West Financial RPS
LLC (“Great-West”) on August 25, 2016;
6
WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint on September 16, 2016 (Docket No. 7);
7
WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Second Amended Complaint on November 21, 2016 (Docket
8
No. 31);
WHEREAS, the Court dismissed the claims against Great-West with prejudice and
10

9
consequently removed Great-West as a defendant in this action on March 13, 2017 (Docket No. 58);
11
WHEREAS, Plaintiff filed a Third Amended Complaint on March 31, 2017 (Docket No.
12
66);
13
WHEREAS, after the Court found this matter to be related to the case of Maria Karla
14
Terraza v. Safeway Inc., et al. (No. 16-cv-03994-JST) (see Docket No. 26), the Parties in this matter
15
and Terraza streamlined their discovery process;
16
WHEREAS, the Parties Stipulated to Continue Case Deadlines, and this Court has entered
17
orders continuing case deadlines on December 18, 2017 (Dkt. 79), February 21, 2018 (Dkt. 84), and
18
April 27, 2018 (Dkt. 92);
19
20
WHEREAS, the Parties have exchanged initial disclosures, engaged in written discovery and
exchange of documents, and taken 21 fact witness depositions;
21
WHEREAS, the Parties are in the expert discovery phase of this litigation and in the process
22
of preparing and taking depositions of seven expert witnesses on or before the current deadline to
23
complete expert witness on June 20, 1018;
24
WHEREAS, although the Parties have been working diligently and cooperatively in the
25
discovery process and in preparing this case for trial, the Parties believe that their most recent
26
stipulation (Dkt. 92), which the Court entered prior to the deadline for expert disclosures, does not
27
provide adequate time to complete expert discovery and file a dispositive motion. The current
28
schedule only provides seven days between the deadline to complete expert discovery and the

CASE NO. 3:16-CV-04903-JST

deadline to file a dispositive motion. The Parties therefore respectfully request that the Court
2
continue the deadline for filing dispositive motions from June 28, 2018 to July 6, 2018 with the
3
opposition due on July 20, 2018, reply due on July 26, 2018, and the hearing on August 9, 2018;
4
WHEREAS, the Parties have previously made three requests to extend the deadlines for
5
completing discovery and filing dispositive motions, and the pretrial and trial dates (Dkts. 79, 84,
6
and 92);
7
8
WHEREAS, the Parties do not propose any change in the trial schedule or the remainder of
the pretrial schedule;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Parties, through their respective counsel, hereby stipulate, subject
