6

Plaintiffs’ failure to appear for their depositions. In response, plaintiff’s counsel proposed a

8

instead proposed July 5 or July 6, 2017 to meet and confer. Plaintiffs’ counsel did not respond to that

9

proposal by the morning of July 5, 2017, and so defense counsel sent a proposed draft of a joint letter,

11

their position to the draft in order to file a joint letter.

13

the morning of July 7, 2017 to meet and confer regarding this discovery dispute. Plaintiff and defense

counsel spoke by telephone on the morning of July 7, 2017, at which time plaintiffs’ counsel requested

15

until Monday, July 10, 2017, to provide plaintiffs’’ portion of the discovery dispute joint letter.

16

The undersigned parties, through counsel, STIPULATE and AGREE that plaintiffs’ counsel

17

has until noon on Monday, July 10, 2017 in which to provide defense counsel their portion of the

18
