December 22, 2017, and Plaintiffs’ reply in support would be due on December 29,

agreed that Plaintiffs may have a brief extension of time, until January 4, 2017, to
reply. Bortscheller Decl. ¶¶ 3-4. The Parties have therefore stipulated and agreed to
the following briefing schedule for the Rule 56(d) Motion :
December 22, 2017 Defendants’ response due
January 4, 2018

Plaintiffs’ reply due

3. The Parties have also agreed that it is most efficient to argue Plaintiffs’ Rule 56(d)
Motion and Defendants’ pending Motion to Dismiss the Amended Class Action
Complaint on the same date. Id. ¶ 4.
4. In order to allow time to complete the briefing on the Rule 56(d) Motion and to align
the hearing on the two pending Motions, the Parties further have agreed that the
hearing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint, which is
currently scheduled for January 11, 2018, should be postponed by one week.
5. The Parties have therefore stipulated and agreed that the hearing on Defendants’
Motion to Dismiss the Amended Complaint should be rescheduled for January 18,
2018 at 2 p.m.
6. The parties have not requested any previous enlargement of time with respect to the
Motion for Relief Under Rule 56(d).
7. There have been five previous time adjustments in this matter, none of which affected
discovery or the trial date and each of which related to the motions to dismiss the
original complaint and the Amended Complaint, and the related hearing schedules.
(ECF Nos. 28, 38, 48, 55, 82).
8. A declaration from Mary J. Bortscheller, setting forth the reasons for the Parties’
request, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
