The parties, by their undersigned counsel, hereby submit the following stipulation and [proposed] order for entry by this Court pursuant to Local Rule 7-12: 1. On August 5, 2009, this Court entered a Case Management Scheduling Order

(Document 77) providing the parties until October 16, 2009 to complete discovery related to class certification issues. 2. At the Case Management Conference held on August 5, 2009 preceding entry of this

Case Management Scheduling Order, the parties reported to the Court that Plaintiff had served a Fourth Set of Document Requests and Second Set of Interrogatories on Defendant for the purposes of class certification. Defendant's counsel indicated to the Court that Defendant intended to object to Plaintiff's discovery requests and to move for a protective order on August 27, 2009 when Defendant's responses to those requests were due. 3. Because any motion filed on or about August 27, 2009 would not be heard until early

October, 2009 on the normal 35 day motion cycle under Local Rule 7-2(a), just a few days before the October 16, 2009 class certification discovery deadline, the Court advised the parties that they were free to submit a motion seeking an expedited hearing on any such motion for protective order if the parties so desired. 4. In that connection, the parties hereby agree to and submit the following stipulation for

an expedited hearing and briefing on Defendant's Motion for Protective Order: 1. Plaintiff's Opposition to Defendant's Motion for Protective Order to be filed

by September 4, 2009; 2. Defendant's Reply on its Motion for Protective Order to be filed by

September 10, 2009; and 3. Hearing on Defendant's Motion for Protective Order at 9:30 a.m. on

September 16, 2009 in Courtroom No. 4, Fifth Floor, San Jose.
