Laurel Beeler 28 JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY PRE-TRIAL SCHEDULE Consolidated Case No. CV-10-3118-SBA Plaintiffs Mauder and Alice Chao, Deogeneso and Glorina Palugod, and Maritza Pinel 1 2 (collectively, “Plaintiffs”) and defendant Aurora Loan Services, LLC (“Aurora”) (collectively, the 3 “Parties”) hereby stipulate and agree, and request the Court modify the pre-trial schedule, as 4 follows. 5 I. 6 BACKGROUND This putative class action concerns Aurora’s mortgage loan “workout agreements,” also 7 known as “special forbearance agreements.” The Parties incorporate by reference their respective 8 factual statements of the case from the Parties’ prior Consolidated Joint Case Management 9 Statement (Doc. # 59), and Joint Stipulation to Modify the Pre-Trial Schedule. Doc. # 92. 10 11 12 13 14 Over the past six months, the Parties have engaged in extensive discovery. Discovery remains open until March 8, 2013. On September 18, 2012, pursuant to the existing pre-trial schedule (Doc. # 93), Plaintiffs filed their Motion for Class Certification. Doc. # 108. On September 24, 2012, Aurora filed a Motion to Strike or, in the Alternative, to Stay 15 Briefing on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification. Doc. # 115. Aurora also filed a Motion for 16 Expedited Briefing/Hearing on the Motion to Strike on the same date. Doc. # 116. Plaintiffs’ 17 opposition to the Motion to Strike is due to be filed on Tuesday, October 9, 2012. 18 The deadline to amend pleadings in this case has not passed. Under Fed. R. Civ. P. 19 15(a)(1)(B)(2), Plaintiffs intend to file a Second Consolidated Amended Complaint (“SCAC”). A 20 copy of the proposed SCAC was provided to Aurora on October 1, 2012, and Aurora has agreed to 21 stipulate to its filing. 22 The Parties have agreed to the amendments to the pre-trial schedule described further below. 23 Although these amendments restart the briefing schedule on Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class 24 Certification to account for the filing of the SCAC, the remaining pre-trial schedule—including the 25 fact discovery cutoff and trial dates—remains unchanged. 26 27 28 -2JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY PRE-TRIAL SCHEDULE Consolidated Case No. CV-10-3118-SBA 1 II. STIPULATION 2 First, Aurora has reviewed the proposed SCAC and stipulates to its filing, without waiver of 3 its right to file a response to the SCAC under Rule 12. Pursuant to this stipulation, Plaintiffs will file 4 the SCAC on October 4, 2012. 5 Second, Aurora’s deadline to file a Rule 12 motion in response to the SCAC shall be 6 October 22, 2012. Plaintiffs’ opposition to Aurora’s Rule 12 motion shall be due on November 5, 7 2012 and Aurora’s reply shall be due on November 12, 2012. 8 9 10 Third, if this stipulation permitting re-filing is approved by the Court, Plaintiffs will withdraw their Motion for Class Certification filed on September 18, 2012 and file a new Motion for Class Certification on or before November 16, 2012. 11 Fourth, Aurora’s deadline to file its opposition to Plaintiffs’ Motion for Class Certification 12 shall be December 28, 2012 and Plaintiffs’ reply in support of their Motion for Class Certification 13 shall be filed on January 21, 2013. 14 15 16 17 18 Fifth, Aurora shall take the depositions of the named Plaintiffs during the week of December 3, 2012, or at such other mutually agreeable time. Sixth, Aurora agrees to withdraw its Motion to Strike (Doc. # 115) and Motion for Expedited Briefing on the Motion to Strike (Doc. # 116). Seventh, the parties agree that Aurora’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings (Doc. #97) is 19 not rendered moot by the filing of the SCAC. Any ruling on the merits on said Motion will apply 20 equally to the SCAC. The hearing on Aurora’s Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings shall remain 21 on October 23, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. 22 23 Eighth, in accordance with the foregoing agreements, the Parties hereby request that the Court amend the existing pre-trial schedule as follows: 24 25 26 27 28 -3JOINT STIPULATION TO MODIFY PRE-TRIAL SCHEDULE Consolidated Case No. CV-10-3118-SBA 1 2 Matter Current Date1 Proposed Date 3 Plaintiffs file stipulated SCAC (none) October 4, 2012 4 Hearing on Motion for Judgment on the Pleadings October 23, 2012; 1:00 p.m. October 23, 2012; 1:00 p.m. (no change) Aurora files Rule 12 motion in response to the SCAC (none) October 22, 2012 Plaintiffs file opposition to Aurora’s Rule 12 motion in response to the SCAC (none) November 5, 2012 Aurora files reply in support of its Rule 12 motion in response to the SCAC (none) November 12, 2012 12 Plaintiffs file their Motion for Class Certification (none) November 16, 2012 13 Hearing on Aurora’s Rule 12 motion in response to the SCAC (none) December 4, 2012 at 1:00 p.m. Aurora files Opposition to Motion for Class Certification October 16, 2012 December 28, 2012 Plaintiffs file Reply in Support of Motion for Class Certification October 30, 2012 January 21, 2013 Class Certification Hearing December 4, 2012 January 29, 2013, at 1:00 p.m. or as otherwise set by the Court Fact Discovery Cut-Off March 8, 2013 March 8, 2013 (no change) Rule 26(a)(2) Expert Designations and Reports March 8, 2013 March 8, 2013 (no change) Mandatory Settlement Conference During the Month of May 2013 During the Month of May 2013 (no change) Rule 26(a)(2) Rebuttal Expert Designations and Reports March 29, 2013 March 29, 2013 (no change) 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 1 The “Current Dates” are derived from the Court’s Order Modifying Pre-Trial Schedule.
